Definition of Position

The position of an object tells us where it is with respect to other objects.

Terms used to describe the position of an object include "left", "right", "up", "down", "under", "over", "in front of" and "behind".

For example, in the picture:

  • The goat is in front of the pig.
  • The farmer is beside the sheep.
  • The tractor is to the right of the tree.
  • The house is behind the large cow.
