Difference between absolute monarchy and constiutional monarchy?

A absolute monarchy means the monarch acts as the sole power of authority for the state. In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch acts as head of state, but is bound by a set of rules or constitution which limit their power in some way. Constitutional monarchies often have a parlimentary system, and sometimes (but not always) the monarch plays largely a ceremonial role. Constitutional monarchies have also co-existed in facist states.
