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 Campinas
The DMS coordinates are: 22°54'20'' S 47°3'39'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -22.90556°
LngO = -47.06083°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 22.90556°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -47.06083 + 180° = 132.93917°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Campinas is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (22.90556, 132.93917)
In DMS format: 22°54'20'' S 47°3'39'' W.
