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 Diadema
The DMS coordinates are: 23°41'10'' S 46°37'22'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -23.68611°
LngO = -46.62278°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 23.68611°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -46.62278 + 180° = 133.37722°
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 Diadema is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (23.68611, 133.37722)
In DMS format: 23°41'10'' S 46°37'22'' W.
