Hipparchus, the ancient greek philosopher
Latitude and longitude have been used for centuries for navigation, but the modern system we use today was standardized in the 18th century. The modern concept of latitude and longitude as we know it today was refined by the English mathematician and astronomer Sir George Airy in the mid-19th century.
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.
Hipparchus was the best astronomers of his time and was a Greek astronomer, geographer, and mathematician. He very accurately cataloged over 1,000 stars. Ptolemy was a great admirer of Hipparchus research and from what I've seen Ptolemy was often said to do what Hipparchus had done.
The system of latitude and longitude coordinates was invented as a means of specifying locations on the earth. Every location on the earth has a unique set of latitude and longitude coordinates, and every possible pair of latitude/longitude numbers you can name is on the earth.Perhaps the best answer to the question is: "All of them."
If you mean Alice Springs in Northern Territory, it varies from system to system but is around Latitude -23*42'0" Longitude 133*52'59" hope that helps ^^
alberuni invented the longitude and latitude of earth.

Longitude because you needed a chronometer and it hadn't been invented yet.

The system of latitude and longitude was invented to do that, so that everypoint on Earth could have its own unique set of numbers, and could never beconfused with any other point. Something like the address of your housebut better.
There is no such location. Every point on Earth has a latitude and longitude, otherwise that system wouldn't be much good for navigation.
