What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Distance is a scalar quantity which measures how far a body has travelled during motion from its start to finish point.

Displacement is a vector quantity which has a magnitude and direction. Displacement describes the change in position of a body and is normally denoted with the symbol 's'.

Displacement calculation = final position - initial position
