What is the meaning of absolute location

2 Answers

An absolute location is a location that is found by latitude and longitude AKA its coordinates. For example, the Empire State Building is located at 40.7 degrees north (latitude), 74 degrees west (longitude).

The other way that you can find an absolute location is by its address. For example, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is an absolute location.

An absolute location is not a relative location: it's not relative to something (right or left of another place).

We specify absolute location by giving it's latitude and longitude, for example: 34° W, 34°S.
