One way to teach this concept would be to pick an orbital distance from Mars and have the students calculate the distance of the path and the height from the surface both in SI units and in English units.

Learn the concepts of distance and displacement with diagram to determine the displacement and the distance travelled with solved examples by visiting BYJU'S.
Example 1. Suppose a dog runs from one end of the street to another end of the street and the street is 80.0 meters across. Moreover, the takes 16.0 seconds to cross reach the end of the street. Now, calculate the speed of the dog? Solution: As we discussed earlier the distance formula can be interchanged to find the speed of the body or object.
The formula for speed distance time is mathematically given as: Speed = Distance/Time. Where, x = Speed in m/s, d = Distance travelled in m, t= time taken in s. Distance travelled formula. If any of the two values among speed, distance and time are given, we can use this formula and find the unknown quantity.
2-1 Position, Displacement, and Distance In describing an object’s motion, we should first talk about position – where is the object? A position is a vector because it has both a magnitude and a direction: it is some distance from a zero point (the point we call the origin) in a particular direction. With one-dimensional motion,
Using a one-dimensional number line to visualize and calculate distance and displacement. Created by Sal Khan.
For example, the distance the professor walks is 2.0 m . The distance the airplane passenger walks is 4.0 m . It is important to note that the distance traveled does not have to equal the magnitude of the displacement (i.e., distance between the two points).
