Absolute location is defined by a unique set of coordinates within a specific reference system. On Earth, the most common system uses latitude and longitude, which form a grid. Latitude lines run east-west and measure distance north or south of the Equator. Longitude lines run north-south and measure distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
