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 Uberlândia
The DMS coordinates are: 18°55'7'' S 48°16'38'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -18.91861°
LngO = -48.27722°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 18.91861°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -48.27722 + 180° = 131.72278°
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 Uberlândia is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (18.91861, 131.72278)
In DMS format: 18°55'7'' S 48°16'38'' W.
