Hellllo..

ur answer is there...

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
 Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

distance is a scalar quantity and displacement is a vector quantity
distance can be either zero or positive displacement can be either Negative positive or zero
distance is the path covered by an object but displacement is the distance between the final and the initial position.
or we can see displacement is the shortest path travelled by an object from its initial to final position

displacement of a moving body can be zero but distance of a moving body cannot be zero
