Displacement is how far you are between your initial and finishing position.
Distance is how far you went.
Explanation:
For example, using a baseball field... if the sides are each 100 m..
A batter runs to third base... what is his displacement and distance?
Since the batter ran to 3rd base, it means he ran 300 m to get to 3rd base but his displacement is 100 m becuase that's how far they are from home plate. (which was their starting position)
