In geography, location is a position or point in physical space that something occupies on Earths' surface. Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία - geografia) is the study of the Earth and its lands features inhabitants and phenomena In Geometry, Topology and related branches of mathematics a spatial point describes a specific point within a given space that consists of neither Volume Space is the extent within which Matter is physically extended and objects and Events have positions relative to one another A real location can often be designated using a specific pairing of latitude and longitude, a Cartesian coordinate grid (e. Reality, in everyday usage means "the state of things as they actually exist" Latitude, usually denoted symbolically by the Greek letter phi ( Φ) gives the location of a place on Earth (or other planetary body north or south of the Longitude (ˈlɒndʒɪˌtjuːd or ˈlɒŋgɪˌtjuːd symbolized by the Greek character Lambda (λ is the east-west Geographic coordinate measurement In Mathematics, the Cartesian coordinate system (also called rectangular coordinate system) is used to determine each point uniquely in a plane g. , State Plane Coordinate System), a spherical coordinate system, or an ellipsoid-based system (e. The State Plane Coordinate System (SPS or SPCS is a set of 126 geographic zones or Coordinate systems designed for specific regions of the United States. In Mathematics, the spherical coordinate system is a Coordinate system for representing geometric figures in three dimensions using three coordinates the radial g. , World Geodetic System). The World Geodetic System defines a reference frame for the earth for use in Geodesy and Navigation.
A location may be described as either absolute location, meaning the exact location of an object, or relative location, meaning the location of one object relative to another and another or in a general area. Absolute location is the exact spot where something is on the earth
