Position – is a specific point. It cannot refer to an area. It is a place where someone or something is in relation to other people or things The position of the car has been identified. Location – is a particular point or place in physical space. It’s used in geography to describe a specific point. The location of my house is at 369 Green Street. Place – is a particular area with indefinable boarders. It’s a physical description of the structure of the area. – What is your favorite place to relax? – I enjoy relaxing by the mountains. Site – is an area where a town, statue or a building is constructed. The construction site for the President’s statue is closed to public. Situation – is a physical position in relation to the surroundings The situation of the city is very pleasant. I know this can be quite confusing, and hard to explain in words. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask. 🙂

I have been working as a project translator for years in the petrochemical industry in China. However distinguishing position and location always makes me headache, it's hard for me (possibly for all chinese) to tell the nuance, is anyone able to offer tips? thanks!
sorry I classified my thread wrongly. I am asking for tips instead of giving the tip! Administrator can correct it if necessary.
As a NOUN, position can have several meanings. One of the meaning of position is exactly the same as location. A second meaning is "a state of mind or principle". "It is the Pope's position that abortion is a sin." A third meaning is to descibe a body posture. "A seated position", "a standing position". Position can also be used as a VERB. "Position that chair next to the table."
Other meanings of position from a dictionary: • job or activity, as in niche • relative order • status, as in exalted position • ranking on a scale, as in rating • defined location , as with coordinates • in a specified direction, as in orientation • relative to one's surroundings, as in bearings • in accurate relation to something else, as in alignment
As a NOUN, position can have several meanings. One of the meaning of position is exactly the same as location. I agree, but think there is a nuance of usage depending on how mobile the object is, so we might talk about the position of your car and the location of Mt. Everest. I'd say a location is a fixed place. I'd say a position is a variable place. I don't say this is a hard and fast rule, just a shade of difference in the usage of the words. If I were undertaking a known journey and somebody asked my location, I would be more inclined to give a fairly precise geographic answer - the location at the time they asked, whereas if somebody asked my position I might say which road I was on, as my position changes with time. That may be a personal thing or it may have something to do with a difference between the words.
Crystal, I agree with the movable vs immovable distinction. Actually I was going to add that nuance with a very similar analogy - except I was planing to use the Empire State Building as an example.
This is the right place to ask for help. Welcome.
My description is similar to many above. Location is a point in two dimensional or three dimentional space. As for position, I agree with HgTX - orientation. I like casseopeia's visuals also. The word position has many other meanings out of the context of this discussion. Location, not so many.
[b]lol:[b/]so many replies turned up when i was asleep! (time zone difference). Love you all! Above replies are very impressive, especially casseopeia's one. Now I think I have got a key to the lock!
I like all of the above explanations and would add one thing: locate when used as a verb also seems to relate a fixed point relative to another, such as locating a hole 3" from the edge. When position is used as a verb, it seems to relate a temporary point in space and leaves me with the notion that its position may change at any time. Some examples: "The lever should be positioned away from the operator." (temporary) "Locate the notch 2.5cm from the exterior face." (permanent) "Position the cat so that you are out of its clawing range." (temporary) "The HMI screen should be located near the controls." (permanent) An exception (as there are always exceptions): "When you locate the forklift driver, send him over here." (temporary) Robert
What position is the subject at that location? Locate it into the assembly at a right position. Locate it into the assembly at a right location. ?????
lo·cate (l?'k?t', l?-k?t') v., -cat·ed, -cat·ing, -cates. v.tr. 3. To place at a certain location; station or situate: locate an agent in Rochester.
great comments, HgTX! Actually I am confused by Right/Correct/Proper/Appropriate too.
To me, position is local, location is geographic. As affirmed by casseopeia.
