If a body is moving along a circular path, starting from some point A and stopping at some other point B; then the total actual curved distance covered by the body will be the 'distance' covered by it and the shortest (i.e. straight lined) distance between the points A and B will be its 'displacement'.
 
For eg:  If the body comes back to the original point from where it started (i.e. A), then the total distance covered will be the circumference of the circle (); while the displacement will be zero.
