An object's change in position relative to a reference point is called displacement. Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the straight-line distance and direction from the initial position to the final position of an object.

A change in an object's position relative to a reference point is called motion.
Displacement is defined as the change in an object's position relative to a reference point.
Distance is the magnitude of the change in position, while direction indicates the path taken relative to the reference point. This information can be used to describe the displacement of an object in terms of distance and angle from the reference point.
The change in an objects position is called motion.
The starting point of the distance of an object's change in position is the initial position of the object before it starts moving. This initial position serves as the reference point from which the distance is measured as the object moves.
