The location of a place can be given by its latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude (sometime called parallels of latitude) are lines that are horizontal and encircle the Earth running parallel to the North or South of the Equator.
For example, the latitude of the Equator is zero degrees (o).

It means the place something is located in relation to something else. Which really means any kind of location when you come to think of it--even degrees of latitude or GPS readings are given in relation to the earth's poles or equator. You could talk about location relative to the moon or the sun if you wanted to.
