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 Türkmenbaşy
The DMS coordinates are: 40°1'19.8'' N 52°57'18.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.02216°
LngO = 52.95517°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.02216°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 52.95517 - 180° = -127.04483°
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 Türkmenbaşy is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.02216, -127.04483)
In DMS format: 40°1'19.8'' N 52°57'18.6'' E .
