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, the direction is not considered. To calculate displacement, the 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 travelling from one point to another. As displacement refers to the shortest path, it does not give complete information on the route.
