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 Kropyvnytskyy
The DMS coordinates are: 48°30'30'' N 32°15'58.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 48.50834°
LngO = 32.26618°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -48.50834°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 32.26618 - 180° = -147.73382°
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 Kropyvnytskyy is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-48.50834, -147.73382)
In DMS format: 48°30'30'' N 32°15'58.2'' E .
