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 São Bernardo do Campo
The DMS coordinates are: 23°41'38'' S 46°33'54'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -23.69389°
LngO = -46.565°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 23.69389°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -46.565 + 180° = 133.435°
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 São Bernardo do Campo is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (23.69389, 133.435)
In DMS format: 23°41'38'' S 46°33'54'' W.
