Displacement is defined as the change in the position of an object taking into account both its starting and ending point. Movement is relative to a reference point, here relative to the starting point.
Distance is defined as a scalar quantity, that is, it ignores direction and is only concerned with size or magnitude. It is the interval between points, and describes how much ground is actually covered between two or more points. Total distance would be calculated by adding all the intervals together.
