Displacement is the distance that something has moved. You could have distances between two different objects, and the distance could be constant if the objects do not move. Displacement is always for the same object, and it has to have moved.
There is one other sense for the word displacement: it is the amount of liquid that an object displaces (takes the place of) when the object is placed in the liquid. For example, when a boat floats in the water, it displaces 1 gallon of water for every 8 pounds the boat weighs. If an object sinks, it is because it displaces water that weighs less than the object does.
the distance from one city to the next
They are similar in the sense that both are measures of angular displacements. pi radians = 180 degrees so that 1 radian = 57.2958 degrees (approx) or 1 degree = 0.01745 radians
Displacements because displacements will tell your friend how far to go and which direction to go, while distances will only tell how far to go.

Any distance between 3m and 15m, depending on the angle between the two individual displacements.
You use vectors.
Hardly at all, at small displacements or amplitudes. At larger displacements (larger angles), the period will get somewhat longer.
Sudden displacements along fault fissures can cause tremors and earthquakes.
Distance.

Invisible displacements refer to movements or shifts that are not immediately noticeable or visible to the eye. This can occur in various contexts, such as changes in power dynamics, subtle alterations in a system, or hidden movements within a group or organization. These displacements may not be readily apparent but can have significant implications over time.
