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 Nova Iguaçu
The DMS coordinates are: 22°45'33'' S 43°27'4'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -22.75917°
LngO = -43.45111°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 22.75917°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -43.45111 + 180° = 136.54889°
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 Nova Iguaçu is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (22.75917, 136.54889)
In DMS format: 22°45'33'' S 43°27'4'' W.
