| Sl. No. | Differentiating Property | Distance | Displacement |
| 1 | Definition | The complete length of the path between any two points is called distance. | Displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them. |
| 2 | Denotation | d | s |
| 3 | Direction Consideration | To calculate distance, direction is not considered. | To calculate displacement, direction is taken into consideration. |
| 4 | Quantity | Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction. | Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction. |
| 5 | Route Information | Distance gives the detailed route information that is followed while traveling from one point to another. | As displacement refers to the shortest path, it does not give complete information of the route. |
| 6 | Formula | Speed × Time | Velocity × Time |
