Displacement refers to the straight-line distance from an object's starting point to its ending point, along with the direction, while distance measures the total path traveled regardless of direction. An object can travel a certain distance and still have a displacement of 0 if it returns to its original starting point, such as when a person walks in a circle and ends up where they began.
