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 Rjasan
The DMS coordinates are: 54°37'36.8'' N 39°41'29.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.6269°
LngO = 39.6916°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.6269°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 39.6916 - 180° = -140.3084°
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 Rjasan is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.6269, -140.3084)
In DMS format: 54°37'36.8'' N 39°41'29.8'' E .
