Latitude and longitude are the angular distance that a place is, north or south of the equator and east or west of the Prime Meridian (which was defined as passing through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England). You can identify a location as precisely as you wish.
If you have a street address and would like to find the latitude and longitude, one of the most useful tools available is Google Earth.
