Detailed explanation-1: -Absolute and relative location are two ways of describing the positions and distribution of people and places on the earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -Geographers use different ways to describe locations. Relative location refers to a place in connection with other locations, while absolute location uses things like latitude and longitude to describe where something is without reference to any other location.
Detailed explanation-3: -Location either refers to the actual latitude and longitude coordinates (absolute location) of something on Earth’s surface, or it describes something’s position in reference to something else (relative location).
