In geography, location is a position or point in physical space expressed relative to the position of another point or thing. A real location can often be designated by Cartesian coordinates such as a specific pairing of latitude and longitude. On the Earth, the geographic coordinate system can be used to specify the position of any location.
A location may be described as either absolute location, meaning the exact location of something, or relative location, meaning the location of soemthing relative to something else.
