Answer:
"Distance is a scalar measure of meters, and displacement is a vector measure of meters. Vectors have a direction and scalars do not. Distance is meters moved, displacement is meters moved in a specific direction."
While displacement is a directed distance, that is not the key difference between the two terms.
Displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position, while distance is the length of the path connecting the two. The magnitude of displacement is the shortest distance between the final and initial positions.
Example: If you walked from the southern end of your room to the northern end a total of 4 meters along a straight line, your displacement would have been +4 meters (assuming you define "north" as the positive direction). The distance you would have traveled happens to be numerically the same (4 meters). In contrast, had you walked from the southern end to the northern end not along a straight line, but along a zig-zag path, your displacement still would have been +4 meters, but the distance you traveled would have been more than 4 meters.
Moreover, if after walking from the southern end to the northern end along that straight line, you then turned around and returned to the southern end via that same straight line, the distance you would have traveled would have been twice as much (8 meters), but your total displacement would have been zero.
