Answer : The short answer is yes.

Explanation:

  When a body is undergoing motion in a closed path, the initial and final position of the body is same. So, the overall displacement is same. But, it has travelled through various lengths, so the overall distance is different from zero.[ As an example, when the earth rotates once around its axis, any point on the surface would have travelled a distance equivalent to the circumference, whereas the body would arrive at the same position, making the overall displacement zero.]
