Relative location can help analyze how two places are connected, whether by distance, culture, or even technology. These are just two of the building's relative locations. It is also about 15 blocks from New York's Central Park. For example, the Empire State Building is 365 kilometers (227 miles) north of America's White House in Washington, D.C. Relative location is a description of how a place is related to other places. Location can sometimes be expressed in relative terms. That is the building’s absolute location. It sits at the intersection of 33rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City, New York, United States.

For example, the Empire State Building is located at 40.7 degrees north (latitude), 74 degrees west (longitude). A place's absolute location is its exact place on Earth, often given in terms of latitude and longitude.
