Distance is the path covered by a body between two points
Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object to the point of origin
Distance can be measured in curves
Displacement is measured in straight lines
Distance is speed * time
It's unit is meter
It is a scalar
Displacement is vector. It's unit is also meter but it refers to the change of position

1) Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, measured along the actual path, linking them.
2)it is the length of the total avenue traversed by the body.
3)it is a Scalar quantity
4)Gives complete information of the route followed by the body.
5)Distance can never decrease with time.
