hello aspirant

well the calculation of latitude and longitude which are nothing but a coordinate system by means of which the position and location of any place on earths surface can be determined .

by using haversine formula you can calculate

a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ 1 ⋅ cos φ 2 ⋅ sin²(Δλ/2)
c = 2 ⋅ atan2( √a, √(1−a) )
d = R ⋅ c

φ is the symbol for latitude, λ  is symbol for longitude and r is the earths radius.

hope this information helps you!
