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 Joinville
The DMS coordinates are: 26°18'16'' S 48°50'44'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -26.30444°
LngO = -48.84556°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 26.30444°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -48.84556 + 180° = 131.15444°
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 Joinville is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (26.30444, 131.15444)
In DMS format: 26°18'16'' S 48°50'44'' W.
