Three differences are:
(i) Distance is the length of the actual path taken by a particle while displacement is the length of the shortest path between the initial and final position of the object.
(ii) Distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity.
(iii) Distance can never be negative but displacement can be negative.

Distance Displacement
Distance is the measurement Displacement is the shortest distance
of total area covered covered by the object
by an object.
It is a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity.
Distance = speed/time Displacement = velocity*time
It is denoted by d. It is denoted by s.
