    Absolute distance = the real distance in miles or km between 2 places

    Relative distance = The costs, difficulty and time to get somewhere (difficulty increases if there are traffic jams for example). Accessibility is a major factor of the difficulty (it's pretty hard to get to the rain forest of Africa for example, since flying there is easy (to Africa), but the roads there are crap as far as I know).

    Costs and time are pretty obvious.

    Depends on where the term is used, I'm sure in traveling his definition of what it means would be right, but for science I assume it would be more to do with measurement
