Never heard of this before...

Hi Guys, I'm looking at the CASA Part 61 Syllabus both PPL/CPL and on the Navigation section in point (F) there is a mention of 'RELATIVE HEADING'. What is that? I have searched and searched on line and there is NOTHING about it.

"2.1 Form of the earth
2.1.1 Describe:
(a) the shape and rotation of the earth;
(b) latitude, longitude;
(c) the difference between true and magnetic north;
(d) how distance and direction are measured and applied to navigation;
(e) magnetic variation and compass deviation;
(f) the relationship between magnetic heading, relative heading and magnetic bearing."

Any help is appreciated in explaining this mystery term.
