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 Kattakurgan
The DMS coordinates are: 39°54'19.7'' N 66°15'56'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 39.90546°
LngO = 66.26556°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -39.90546°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 66.26556 - 180° = -113.73444°
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 Kattakurgan is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-39.90546, -113.73444)
In DMS format: 39°54'19.7'' N 66°15'56'' E .
