Equator Circles the Earth like a belt. The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude. Halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole.

Hemisphere it divides the Earth in half-spheres.

Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude

Latitude lines of latitude circle the Earth parallel to the Equator.

Longitude lines of longitude circle the Earth from Pole to Pole.

Absolute Location pinpoint the precise spot where one line of latitude crosses one line of longitude.
