Where it sits
23.4°S, 46.5°W puts GRU in the southern hemisphere, 2,605 km from the equator and 7,402 km from the South pole.
Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 602nd most northerly, which makes it the 60th most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 23.4°N, 133.5°E. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Naha (OKA) in Japan, still 669 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is Congonhas–Deputado Freitas Nobre (CGH), 29 km away in a straight line. 2 airports here sit within 100 km — worth checking which one your ticket actually says.

What’s on this page, and what isn’t
Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.
Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
