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 Santo André
The DMS coordinates are: 39°3'19.2'' N 8°14'38.9'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 39.05532°
LngO = -8.24414°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -39.05532°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -8.24414 + 180° = 171.75586°
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 Santo André is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-39.05532, 171.75586)
In DMS format: 39°3'19.2'' N 8°14'38.9'' W.
