Question

What is the difference between a relative and absolute location?

Answer 1

Answer:

Absolute location refers to a specific spot on planet Earth (a specific address or place using latitude/longitude coordinates). Relative location explains where a place is in relation to another place.

Answer 2

Answer:

Relative location is a place or point in relation to another place or point, while absolute location is an exact  location.

Explanation:

Relative location is not exact, as it is the location of a place in relation to another place.

For example, the relative location of a supermarket could be described with other stores next to it.

On the other hand, absolute location is an exact location.

For example, the absolute location of the same supermarket could be the exact address or coordinates of it.

So, relative location is a place or point in relation to another place or point, while absolute location is an exact  location.
