One is absolute unit, the other relative to its parent container... Cases of be relative to screen/display ( viewport is the most right word ) size is very particular. If we want to refer to viewport size, use modern units 'vw' and 'vh' ( respectively stand for 'viewport width' and 'viewport height', and represent 1% of it, so width == 100vh ).

as rutger said px is pixels and % is percentage, for example 50% is half of the screen or containter (in the corresponing direction) and 50px is 50 pixels
