Distance can never be zero because it is a scalar quantity. Whereas displacement is a vector quantity. Vectors have magnitude as well as direction. Scalar only have magnitude. If you move 5 meters towards west end then trace the same path backwards, net displacement will be zero but net distance will be 10 meters.
