Absolute Location

BY Katie, Makayla, Jinelyz, and Grace H.
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.
 An example of Absolute Location is Longitude and
Latitude. “ I found where Cincinnati, Ohio was by
using Absolute Location.
 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.
 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.
 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.
