Differences between Speed and Velocity

Or simply, it is the distance traveled by a body in a unit of time. Velocity is direction-aware and it is the rate of change of position of an object. Speed is a scalar quantity, i.e., it has only magnitude. Velocity is a vector quantity, i.e., it has both magnitude and direction.
