Absolute Altitude
Simply put, absolute altitude is the height of the aircraft above the actual landscape or terrain that it is flying. When an altimeter measures altitude, it measures the vertical elevation above a reference point.

ABSOLUTE ALTITUDE - The measureable height of an aircraft above the actual terrain.
ABSOLUTE CEILING - The maximum altitude above sea level at which an aircraft can maintain level flight under Standard Air conditions.
Absolute altitude. The actual distance between an aircraft and the terrain over which it is flying.
Absolute pressure. Pressure measured from the reference of zero pressure, or a vacuum.

Power required goes up with altitude and at one point these two will be the same. The aircraft then has reached its absolute altitude. More practical is the service ceiling where the aircraft vertical speed is reduced to 100 ft/min.
