There are several ways. "Are/Sore/Kore ha nan desu ka." 'Are' is "that over there." ("What is that over there?") 'Sore' is "that over here." ("What is that over here?") 'Kore' is "this right here." It's a matter of distance; Are is for objects furthest away, sore is generally for objects that are near the listener, and kore is for objects close to the speaker.

Additionally, to refer to abstract concepts (as opposed to concrete objects), use 'are' to refer to concepts that both the speaker and listener are familiar with. Use 'sore' for concepts that are familiar to only one of the two.
