Distance is measured using reference points therefore distance, between objects, is relative.

Some of the units used can be absolute, the separation between two or more points cannot.

Do star color indicates the absolute distance?

No, the color of a star does not directly indicate its absolute distance. Star color is related to its surface temperature, and stars of different temperatures can be located at varying distances from Earth. The brightness of a star, as measured by its apparent magnitude, is more indicative of its distance.

How can you give examples for absolute location?

Absolute location is typically defined by 3 (sometimes 4 variables): Latitude (distance from equator measured in degrees, minutes and seconds), longitude (distance from the prime meridian also given in degrees, minutes and seconds), elevation (distance above/below sea level) and sometimes time.

How are negative integers measured?

Typically, negative numbers could be "measured" by the difference between the number and another number. The magnitude of a negative number is the distance from zero. Essentially, remove the minus sign, and you have the magnitude (also called absolute value) of the number.
