How does Google know my location even after I don’t have my gps on?

I haven’t had my gps turned ON for a couple of weeks atleast and still whenever I search for the weather, I get to know the weather of my exact location. None of my devices have their gps activated and yet theyre able to get my location. How is that?

The IP address you use to connect to the internet has a physical location – either a wi-fi connection or a cell tower location. Google will know where you are based on your IP address. Connect with a VPN and Google will think you’re in whatever location the VPN exit node is located.
