what is the difference between event.x,event.y and event.x_root,event.y_root in tkinter?

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
win=tk.Tk()
def get_event(event):
     print(f"{event.x} {event.y}")
win.bind("<Button-3>",get_event)
win.mainloop()

im making right click menu in tkinter but when i write event.x and event.y:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
win=tk.Tk()
menu=tk.Menu(win,tearoff=False)
menu.add_command(label="Nothing...")
def popup(event):
     menu.tk_popup(event.x,event.y)
win.bind("<Button-3>",popup)
win.mainloop()

the menu overflows the window but when i write event.x_root and event.y_root in menu.tk_popup it doesn't

When you use x and y attributes from event, it refers to the x/y coordinate of the mouse at the time of the event, relative to the upper left corner of the widget.

But when you use x_root and y_root from event, it refers to the x/y coordinate of the mouse at the time of the event, relative to the upper left corner of the screen.
