Absolute location: position expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds of latitude and longitude
Relative location: the regional position of situation of a place relative to the positions of other places

So i feel like those two definitions are super important but we also talked about latitude and longitude more so latitude. latitude is a geographical coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the earths surface.

Arctic Circle: 66.57 N
Tropic of Cancer: 23.43 N
Equator: 0 N/S
Tropic of Capricorn: 23.43 S
Antarctic Circle: 66.57 S

We also touched on longitude which is a geographical coordinate the specifies the east-west position of a point on the earths surface. We also talked about the Prime Meridian which passes through Greenwich, England and is the position of 0 degrees longitude. We need Longitude and Latitude for almost any type of location i probably wouldn't use it on a everyday basis but is still important for exact locations. 37°14′0″N 115°48′30″W
