I am riding in a much longer distance compared to the straight distance from my house to our school. There are a lot of curves and turn on the road which makes me travel longer compared to the straight distance between our house and the school ( displacement ).
The total length I have travelled from house to school is the known as Distance.
The straight distance between our house and school is known as displacement.
Differences between Distance and Displacement
Distance Displacement
Length of path travelled Short distance from point a to point b
Scalar quantity ( do direction ) vector quantity have direction
Never be zero with motion can be zero if returns back to its place
