Distance:
1.The distance travelled by a moving body is the actual length of the path covered by the body irrespective of direction.
2.Distance is a scalar quantity.
3.Distance travelled is always positive.
4.Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.
Displacement:
1.The displacement of a body is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the body.
2.Displacement is a vector quantity.
3.Displacement  may be positive,negative or zero.
4.Displacement is always less than or equal to the distance travelled.

Distance...

It is a scalar quantity.....
It can be more than zero....
It will be mote than the displacement
It is a actual path covered by the body...


DISPLACEMENT

It is a vector quality
It is a smallest path covered by the body
It can be more than zero or zero..
It will be less than the distance...
