- Distance – Distance is the Actual length of the path travelled by the object.
Distance is a scalar quantity which means it is defined only in terms of its magnitude (and units of distance)
Distance of two points cannot be zero - Displacement – Displacement is shorterest distance between initial and final position of the object
Displacement is a vector quantity and is measured in terms of both magnitude (units of distance) and direction(positive or negative)
Displacement can be zero in case the path of journey ends where it began
