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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Relative location refers to the position of a place or entity based on its location with respect to other locations. Relative location, unlike absolute location is not a fixed reference. Relative location will therefore change based on the secondary location. For example, the United States is located south of Canada.
Detailed explanation-3: -An absolute location describes a fixed position that never changes, regardless of your current location. It is identified by specific coordinates, such as latitude and longitude. Longitude is the position of a place on the Earth east to west, measured in degrees.
