The position of a place in relation to another place is its relative location. Where is the student's home relative to school? Near or far? North, south , east or west? Where is the school in comparison to the park? All locations are described in relation to some known point.--Back to TEKS
A position described solely with reference to another location.
Relative location is the place where something is in comparison to something else. A good example of relative location is if you were to give directions to somebody and you used terms such as "it is across the street from the market" or "it is to the left of the gas station.",or "it is very close to a certain city."
