Answer:
Distance is a scalar quantity whereas displacement is a vector quantity. Distance is the total path covered by the body and displacement is the shortest path covered by the body. ... Distance doesn't decrease with time whereas displacement decreases. Distance is always equal to or greater than the displacement.

While displacement is the product of moving velocity and time taken. Another important factor that differentiates the two is that value concerning distance will always be either equal or more than displacement. While the magnitude of displacement is either lesser or equal to that of the distance.
