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 Yantak
The DMS coordinates are: 40°31'22.3'' N 69°19'59.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.52286°
LngO = 69.33307°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.52286°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 69.33307 - 180° = -110.66693°
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 Yantak is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.52286, -110.66693)
In DMS format: 40°31'22.3'' N 69°19'59.1'' E .
