Absolute path begins with '/' - ultimate ancestor of all the files e.g. /usr/bin/ls
Relative path begins with the current directory name - e.g. abc/def/ls - here abc is in current directory

Absolute path begins with /(root). It is the ancestor of all yhe files in Unix.
Relative path can begin with practically any file. Usually it starts from the current working directory.
