What is the functional difference between an absolute CSS position attribute and a relative layout property value?

When designing a custom navigation bar menu or a sticky interactive floating button inside an HTML web portal layout how do these two display properties interact with parental container blocks?

A relative position keeps an element inside the normal natural document text flow allowing subtle offsets without disturbing surrounding items. An absolute position completely rips the element out of the document flow positioning it precisely relative to its closest parent block that possesses a non-static position attribute.
