How to calculate the antipodal point?

The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:

  • LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
  • LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
  • LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
  • LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.

Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Kara-Balta

The DMS coordinates are: 42°48'51.2'' N 73°50'53.3'' E .

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = 42.81423°

LngO = 73.84813°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = -42.81423°

Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = 73.84813 - 180° = -106.15187°

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 Kara-Balta is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-42.81423, -106.15187)

In DMS format: 42°48'51.2'' N 73°50'53.3'' E .
