Absolute location is the exact spot on the planet where something resies. A good example would be the longitude and latitude of a place. For instance, Lake Maracaibo of Venezuela is at 10°36' N latitude and 71°33' W longitude, which can be expressed as a decimal fraction: 10.6°N, 71.55°W (e.g. for input into Google earth, note though that 71.55°W = -71.55°). Also, Owensboro, Kentucky, is at about 87 degrees west and 37.5 degrees north.
