In our everyday lives, there is really no big difference between 'distance' and 'relative distance.' However, you must realize that EVERY measurement is relative.

Consider this: You're on a moving train. A track parallel to you on the left is moving with your train at the same speed. Say it's really foggy and you can't make out any ground reference points other than the other train. You see no movement. That's because the relative speed between your train and the other train is close to zero. Main idea: All measurements have reference points.

Relative distance isn't much different. It's just the distance of one object compared to the reference point, which is really just simply 'distance'.
