1.Distance is the length of an actual path travelled by an object moving from one place to another.
1.Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial point and final point.
2.Distance is scaler quantity.
2.Displacement is vector quantity.
3.The magnitude of distance is greater than the magnitude of displacement if the motion is not in a straight line.
3.The magnitude of displacement is smaller than the magnitude of dustance if the motion is not in a straight line.

Hey there !
•Distance is a scalar measure while displacement is a vector.
•Displacement is indicated with an arrow while distance is never indicated with an arrow.
•Distance only considers magnitude while displacement takes into account both magnitude and direction.
•Displacement can have both positive and negative values while distance can only have positive values.
•The symbol delta Δ is used for displacement while this is not the case for distance.
•Distance can be used to calculate speed given time, while displacement can be used to calculate velocity given change of distance (displacement), over time.
•Displacement is always measured along a straight line path, while distance can be measured along a non-straight path.
Hope it helps you !
