In science, positive correlation is a general positive slope in something. Often times this is represented with a graph, using many points of data, for instance, height vs age would be a positive correlation. The meaning of positive correlation in both science and math are very, very similar. Only the scenarios they are used in differ.

What does a correlation of 0.20 means and can correlation be measured in percentage?

A correlation of 0.20 is somewhat low, meaning that the degree of linear relationship measured between the two variables involved is low. However, such a degree of relationship would not be ignored in many fields of science where relationships are difficult to detect. Correlation is rarely if ever put in terms of percentage.
