2 Absolute location is a point on the Earth’s surface expressed by a coordinate system. Absolute Location is a way of describing the position of an object or place.

3 An example of Absolute Location is Longitude and Latitude. “ I found where Cincinnati, Ohio was by using Absolute Location.

4 Waypoint. Whatever the answer, it must incorporate temporal forces as well as the relativity of x, y, and z. All locations on earth are absolutely temporary since the earth is spinning and moving throughout the expanding universe. And since the universe is expanding and we have no real point of reference, we will never really know what points do not move. So the synonym for an absolute location would have to be general enough to acknowledge a journey. And a waypoint is a point along a journey. It may move later, but for now, that's where we are going.

5 What is the maximum number of degrees of longitude possible? In whole degrees, 360. Beyond that, you have to subdivide the degrees into minutes and seconds of arc. What is the maximum number of degrees of longitude possible? How many miles are in a degree of longitude or latitude? At the equator, both longitude and latitude measure exactly 60 nautical miles. This converts to 69.046767 statute miles. How many miles are in a degree of longitude or latitude?
