Straight line distance
Watch how distance (total path) differs from displacement (straight line)!
Total length of the path traveled (scalar)
Example: If you walk around a circular track, distance is the circumference
Straight-line distance from start to end (vector)
Example: After one complete lap, displacement is zero!
Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement. They're only equal for straight-line motion!
