    Numerical time is absolute while relative is compared.

    Explanation:

    Numerical time is essentially the age of an object. Numerical time is also called absolute time because the age is given as a number that expresses (usually) how many years old it is.

    Relative time, rather than give an age, places a rock or rock layer in a category based on how it fits into Earth's evolutionary history as a planet and the fossil record.
