Location is where something is in the world. Just like how your house has an address, every place in the world has a location. We use special tools like maps and GPS to help us figure out where things are.
Maps show us pictures of the world from above, so we can see what different places look like and where they are in relation to each other. You can see where countries and cities are on a map, and even where your own street is.
GPS is like a special machine that can tell us exactly where we are in the world. We use it in cars to help us find our way to a new place, or even to find our way back home if we get lost.
Knowing the location of things is important because it helps us understand what's around us and how we can get to different places. We can also learn about the climate and geography of different locations, like if it's hot or cold, if there are mountains or oceans nearby, and what kind of animals and plants live there.
