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 Lashkar Gāh
The DMS coordinates are: 31°35'37.8'' N 64°22'17.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 31.59382°
LngO = 64.37161°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -31.59382°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 64.37161 - 180° = -115.62839°
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 Lashkar Gāh is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-31.59382, -115.62839)
In DMS format: 31°35'37.8'' N 64°22'17.8'' E .
