What is the difference between the density and relative density of a substance?

Density:

The density of a substance is defined as mass of the substance per unit volume i.e Density = Mass / Volume


The SI unit of density is kg/m3


Relative Density:


The Relative Density of a substance is the ratio of its density to that of water. i.e


Relative Density = Density of substance / Density of water.


Relative Density is unit less.
