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 Pyandzh
The DMS coordinates are: 37°20'53.2'' N 68°39'50.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 37.34812°
LngO = 68.66398°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -37.34812°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 68.66398 - 180° = -111.33602°
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 Pyandzh is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-37.34812, -111.33602)
In DMS format: 37°20'53.2'' N 68°39'50.3'' E .
