Relative Positioning Working in CSS
We can define positioning of an element in CSS as relative which renders the element normally. Elements with positioning method as relative are positioned by CSS Positioning properties (left, right, top and bottom).
Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
margin: 0;
}
div:first-child {
position: relative;
top:20px;
background-color: orange;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>PostgreSQL</div>
<p>PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system.
It has more than 15 years of active development.................</p>
<div></div>
</body>
</html>Output

padding: 5px;
}
#d1 {
position: relative;
height: 10em;
}
#d2 {
position: absolute;
width: 20%;
bottom: 10px; /*relative to parent d1*/
}
#d3 {
position: fixed;
width: 30%;
top:10em; /*relative to viewport*/
}
</style>
</head>
