'Their' is a collective possessive descriptive word. It shows that something belongs to someone, for example you could say 'The ladies took off their coats and hung them up.' Here the word 'their' signifies that the coats belong to 'the ladies'.
'There' is a place and is opposed to 'here'. So you could say 'I can see several ladies over there by the garden.' This tells you that they are not 'here' but 'there'
To show an example of both words in a sentence you could say 'The ladies took of their coats and put them over there by the chair.'
This tells you that the coats belong to 'the ladies' and where they put them 'by the chair'.

Their is used when describing a person. E.G- "Their house is beautiful. But THERE is used as a place or where something is situated. EG- "There are so many people at the party. We are going out there".

"There" is a word indicating location.
i.e: Put the book over there.
"Their" is the possessive form of "they".
i.e: That is their book.
"They're" is a contraction of "they are".
i.e: They're reading the book

They're over there sitting in their car.
they're = they are
there = refers to a location
their = is a plural possessive

"THEIR" is the possessive form of "THEY."
"THERE" refers to a place, as in, "Place it over THERE;" or a state of being, as in, "Yes, Virginia, THERE is a Santa Claus."
"THEY'RE" is the contraction of "THEY" and "ARE"
Just for fun:
They're placing their coats over there on the couch.
