Distance (Scalar): The total length of the path traveled, measured in meters. Every step you take adds to this value.
Displacement (Vector): The straight-line distance from your starting position to your current position, measured in meters. This shows your net change in position.
Try this: Walk in a square pattern back to the start. You'll see high distance but zero displacement!
