The similarities between distance and displacement are:
Distance and displacement require a reference point to be measured.
The dimensions for both displacement and distance are the same.
Both distance and displacement are equal to each other if the motion of the object is in a straight line and in a single direction too.
They both have magnitudes.
The differences between distance and displacement are:
Distance is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude but no direction while displacement is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction.
Distance can only have positive values while displacement can be positive, negative, and even zero.
Distance can be measured along a non-straight path while displacement can only be measured along a straight path.
Distance depends upon the path i.e. it changes according to the path taken while displacement does not depend upon the path and only depends upon the initial and final position of the body.
