There are two types of cell references:relative and absolute. Relative and absolute references behave differently when copied and filled to other cells. Relative references change when a formula is copied to another cell. Absolute references, on the other hand, remain constant, no matter where they are copied.
By default, all cell references are relative references. When copied across multiple cells, they change based on the relative position of rows and columns. For example, if you copy the formula =A1+B1 from row 1 to row 2, the formula will become =A2+B2. Relative references are especially convenient whenever you need to repeat the same calculation across multiple rows or columns.
There may be times when you do not want a cell reference to change when filling cells. Unlike relative references,absolute references do not change when copied or filled. You can use an absolute reference to keep a row and/or column constant.

Answer:
Relative cell address means when a formula is copied to other cells, the cell reference in the formula changes to reflect the formula's new location.
Absolute cell addressing keeps a cell reference constant when copying a formula or function.It starts with $dollar sign.
