Detailed explanation-1: -Relative location is a description of how a place is related to other places. For example, the Empire State Building is 365 kilometers (227 miles) north of America’s White House in Washington, D.C. It is also about 15 blocks from New York’s Central Park. These are just two of the building’s relative locations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eventually the star will return to its same relative location at sunrise.
Detailed explanation-3: -A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Objects that are fixed relative to Earth – such as a building, a tree, or a sign-make good reference points.
Detailed explanation-4: -Locality. Relative location. Absolute location.
