Why is latitude 180 degrees?
“Longitude” goes 360 degrees, 180 East to 180 West, to cover the entire 360 degrees around the equator. But if latitude did the same thing, every point on the earth would be covered twice! So latitude only has to cover 180 degrees, from the north pole to the south pole.
Why there are no latitudes higher than 90 N and 90 S?
Latitude is the angular distance from the plane of the Equator. Latitude only has to cover 180 degrees, from the North Pole to the South Pole. All circles make a maximum angle of 900 from the plane of the Equator. Therefore the maximum, latitude is 900 N in the Northern hemisphere and 900 S in the Southern Hemisphere.
Who determined time?
The measurement of time began with the invention of sundials in ancient Egypt some time prior to 1500 B.C.

For the Egyptians, and indeed for a further three millennia, the basic unit of time was the period of daylight.
