speed is a scalar quantity and has magnitude only
while velocity has direction as well as magnitude thats why it is called as vector quantity

→ It is the rate of change of distance of a position with respect to time.
* Speed = Distance / Time
→ It is a scaler quantity (which contains magnitude only not direction).
→ It is always positive or zero.
→ It is greater or equal to velocity.

→ It is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.
* Velocity = Displacement / Time
→ It is a vector quantity. (which contains both magnitude and direction)
→ It is positive, negative or zero.
→ It is smaller than speed.
