Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Answer:
The change of position of a body but not in a particular direction is called distance.
The change of position of body in a straight direction is called Displacement..
Displacement comes into picture only when an object is displaced in a straight line
