Answer:

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.

Answer:

Distance is the total path covered by the body and displacement is the shortest path covered by the body. The distance can never be zero but displacement can be. Distance can never be negative and displacement can be both i.e., positive or negative. Distance doesn't decrease with time whereas displacement decreases.
