D7 is a relative reference. If you write formula =D7 in cell A1, then copy and paste to cell A2 the formula in A2 will be =D8.
$D$7 is an absolute reference. Copy and paste it anywhere you like. It will always refer to D7.
Good use for this is a constant that will be referred to by many other cells.
$D7 is an absolute column, relative row. So you can refer to column D from any other other column on the same row.
