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 Tejen
The DMS coordinates are: 37°23'0.2'' N 60°30'19.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 37.38338°
LngO = 60.50545°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -37.38338°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 60.50545 - 180° = -119.49455°
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 Tejen is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-37.38338, -119.49455)
In DMS format: 37°23'0.2'' N 60°30'19.6'' E .
