Distance:-
The actual path covered by a body is called its distance.
It can not be less than displacement.
When it is divided by time, we get speed of the body.
It can not be equal to 0.
It's a scalar quantity.
Displacement:-
The shortest path possible by the body is called displacement.
It is equal to or less than distance.
When it is divided by time, we get the velocity of the body.
It can be equal to 0.
It's a vector quantity.
