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 Tula
The DMS coordinates are: 54°11'45.9'' N 37°37'5.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.19609°
LngO = 37.61822°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.19609°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 37.61822 - 180° = -142.38178°
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 Tula is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.19609, -142.38178)
In DMS format: 54°11'45.9'' N 37°37'5.6'' E .
