One pretty important difference is that relative velocity exists and absolute velocity doesn't.

Velocity is always measured and described relative to something. There's no such thing as the

"real speed" of a moving object. In fact, according to a scientist who's riding on the object, it's

not moving at all. (Close your eyes right now and feel the earth move ?)

What is the difference between absolute zero and relative zero?

The term "absolute zero" is used for the minimal possible temperature (-273 K). The term "relative zero" is not a term I know, but it could refer to the difference between two velocities, which are equal. In Physics, independent observers do not observe a velocity of the other if they are moving at the same speed (relative zero). <Feb 18, 2014 - Bruno>

Explain the difference between absolute and relative power.?

In exercise physiology, the difference between absolute and relative expressions of anaerobic power is that absolute mean power is calculated using the constant rate of falling bodies while relative mean power is calculated using a person's body weight to be able to compare power produced by that individual to their own body weight.
