Here's an explanation of this for Prices: constant means some year or point in the past is used as a Base. And everything is calculated to that base line value.

Constant prices refer to volume measures whose values are derived prices by applying to current quantities, prices pertaining to a specific base period. They allow figures to be represented so that the effects of inflation are removed (see deflator). The values for each time period are expressed in terms of the prices in some base period (e.g. National Accounts currently show constant price data at 1995 prices.)

Current prices are the actual or estimated recorded monetary value over a defined period for a group of industries or products. They show the value for each item expressed in terms of the prices of that period.

The explanation for prices above is basically the same thing applied to exchange rate values used in economic analysis.
