The distance shows us the total length traveled in one movement. Actual length run between two positions. There is no directional component to a distance quantity measurement, so it is a scalar. Displacement is the length and direction between the start and end point, the shortest path between two positions, or the overall change in position of an object.

In this sense, the displacement could be negative or positive but the distance is always positive
