When was latitude and longitude invented by Hipparchus and Ptolemy?
Latitude and longitude as a coordinate system were developed separately by Hipparchus and Ptolemy in the 2nd century BC. They both contributed significantly to the mapping and understanding of the Earth's surface, with Hipparchus focusing on latitude and Ptolemy introducing the concept of longitude.
When given latitude and longitude coordinates which is given first?
Typically, latitude is given first followed by longitude when providing coordinates. Latitude measures the north-south position, while longitude measures east-west. So the order is latitude, longitude. For example, 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W represents the latitude and longitude coordinates for New York City.
When listed the location of a place the degree of longitude is always listed?
The longitude is typically listed second, after the latitude. Except for computer input, though, it's not a hard and fast rule. Where the coordinates are to be read by a human being, it makes absolutely no difference which coordinate you list first, just as long as you clearly indicate which number is the latitude and which one is the longitude.

The first person to come up with the idea of latitude and longitude?
The concept of latitude and longitude dates back to ancient Greece, with the Greek mathematician and astronomer Hipparchus making significant contributions to the development of these coordinate systems around 150 B.C. However, it was the Greek geographer and astronomer Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD who refined and popularized the use of latitude and longitude for mapping and navigation.
Is longitude or latitude 1st?
When giving a position it is usual to give latitude first.
When stating the absolute location of a place you always give the longitude first.?
The starting line for measuring latitude is what
Do you look at the lines of latitude or the lines of longitude first when you are finding the coordinates?
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
Which technological development made it possible for sailors to find their latitude and longitude for the first time?
For latitude the sextant, and later for longitude, the marine chronometer.
What came first latitude and longitude or GPS coordinates?
Latitude and longitude came first. A very long time before such things as satellites, computers and smart phones ever existed.
