The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Krasnoyarsk
The DMS coordinates are: 56°1'6.2'' N 92°52'1.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 56.01839°
LngO = 92.86717°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -56.01839°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 92.86717 - 180° = -87.13283°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Krasnoyarsk is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-56.01839, -87.13283)
In DMS format: 56°1'6.2'' N 92°52'1.8'' E .
