Relative: If you want to change the position of the elements, you can use relative. When you are changing elements' positions to a relative, it changes the position of the elements by using the below attributes. Attributes are as follows
Alignment: In this attribute, you can give the values like top, bottom, right or left according to that element position changes.
Size: Mention in the pixels.
