Step-by-step explanation:

Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time. ... Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time. Displacement is a vector quantity (direction matters), where as distance is a scalar (only the amount matters).
