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 Kulyab
The DMS coordinates are: 37°54'52.5'' N 69°47'4.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 37.91459°
LngO = 69.78454°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -37.91459°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 69.78454 - 180° = -110.21546°
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 Kulyab is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-37.91459, -110.21546)
In DMS format: 37°54'52.5'' N 69°47'4.3'' E .
