Distance:
Distance is a measure to find out how much area is covered by a moving body when it is traveled from one point to the other. It is a scalar quantity, which does not have direction. Only the magnitude is there in the case of distance. The given figure will explain about the distance.
Displacement:
Displacement is the shortest distance traveled by a body from one point to other. It is a vector quantity. Which has both magnitude and direction. The displacement is illustrated by the given figure

distance is the length of the path travelled by the body.It doesn't depend on the direction of the motion.It is a scalar quantity.
Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the body. It is dependent on the direction. It is a vector quantity.
