The relative error puts the size of the error into context.

An absolute error of 10, in a number whose value is 1 indicates a range of -9 to 11 for the true value. This means that telling you that the value is 1 is near enough pointless. On the other hand, an absolute error of 10 in a number whose value is 1 billion means that the true value is somewhere in the range 999,999,990 and 1,000,000,010. I suggest that the discrepancy is not significant.

The relative error in the first case is 1000% and in the second, it is 1 millionth of 1%.

No. Math is relative to you, your location and frame of reference. Our math is limited to what we understand and can compute. Math is greater than what we know, or can know.
