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 Roghun
The DMS coordinates are: 38°46'57.3'' N 69°52'14.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 38.78257°
LngO = 69.87081°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -38.78257°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 69.87081 - 180° = -110.12919°
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 Roghun is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-38.78257, -110.12919)
In DMS format: 38°46'57.3'' N 69°52'14.9'' E .
