What is the difference between absurdism and nihilism? And what are the differences in nietzsche and Camus’s philosophies?

I know there very similar, but from what I understand nihilism believes that life is meaningless and absurdism believes that there is know way to know if there is meaning.

Nietzsche wasn't a nihilist. He uses nihilism in his writing as a kind of tool to explain what he believes. That's where the confusion comes from.

The difference between Camus' and Nietzsche's philosophy is that Camus' believed that trying to construct meaning itself was the goal, whereas Nietzsche believed that uisng one's will to advance towards the übermensch was the goal.
