Answer 1

a point on the earths surface expressed by a coordinate system such as longitude and latitude 

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) the exact spot on the planet where something is located.

An absolute location is an exact spot on the planet where something is located.

An absolute location is the opposite of a relative location. An absolute spot is located in the same place, it doesn't matter where you are. It is located by the coordinates on Earth, latitude, and longitude. That is how you locate a place.

A relative location is when you give directions to get to a landmark. If you go to the park and you are crossing downtown, the park is located three miles north downtown.
