# WGS72GeodeticRepresentation

class astropy.coordinates.WGS72GeodeticRepresentation(lon, lat=None, height=None, copy=True)

  Bases: `BaseGeodeticRepresentation`

  Representation of points in WGS72 3D geodetic coordinates.

  Parameters:
    lon, lat astropy:angle-like

      The longitude and latitude of the point(s), in angular units. The latitude should be between -90 and 90 degrees, and the longitude will be wrapped to an angle between 0 and 360 degrees. These can also be instances of `Angle` and either `Longitude` not `Latitude`, depending on the parameter.

    height `Quantity` [:ref: ‘length’]

      The height to the point(s).

    copy bool, optional

      If `True` (default), arrays will be copied. If `False`, arrays will be references, though possibly broadcast to ensure matching shapes.
