1. Relative Location.We can always describe what is nearby.
How could you give the RELATIVE LOCATION of Stockton?
2. Absolute Location.This is done with a pair of coordinates.
For example, Stockton is located at 38° N, 121° W
These two coordinates enable us to pinpoint Stockton on a map.
The first coordinate, 38° N, is the LATITUDE of Stockton.
The second coordinate, 121° W, is its LONGITUDE.
