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 Ribeirão das Neves
The DMS coordinates are: 19°46'1'' S 44°5'12'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -19.76694°
LngO = -44.08667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 19.76694°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -44.08667 + 180° = 135.91333°
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 Ribeirão das Neves is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (19.76694, 135.91333)
In DMS format: 19°46'1'' S 44°5'12'' W.
