def from_geodetic(cls, lon, lat, height=0., ellipsoid=None):
"""
Location on Earth, initialized from geodetic coordinates.
Parameters
----------
lon : `~astropy.coordinates.Longitude` or float
Earth East longitude. Can be anything that initialises an
`~astropy.coordinates.Angle` object (if float, in degrees).
lat : `~astropy.coordinates.Latitude` or float
Earth latitude. Can be anything that initialises an
`~astropy.coordinates.Latitude` object (if float, in degrees).
height : `~astropy.units.Quantity` or float, optional
Height above reference ellipsoid (if float, in meters; default: 0).
ellipsoid : str, optional
Name of the reference ellipsoid to use (default: 'WGS84').
Available ellipsoids are: 'WGS84', 'GRS80', 'WGS72'.
Raises
------
astropy.units.UnitsError
If the units on ``lon`` and ``lat`` are inconsistent with angular
ones, or that on ``height`` with a length.
ValueError
If ``lon``, ``lat``, and ``height`` do not have the same shape, or
if ``ellipsoid`` is not recognized as among the ones implemented.
Notes
-----
For the conversion to geocentric coordinates, the ERFA routine
``gd2gc`` is used. See https://github.com/liberfa/erfa
