Explanation:

Distance is total length between the initial and final positions of the body in a particular interval of time without taking into account the direction of the motion .this is a scalar quantity and is never negative and its S.I. unit is meter.
The least distance executed by a body between the initial and final points (position)of a straight line motion in a definite direction is called displacement and it is a vector quantity .the displacement may be positive ,negative or zero.
