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.

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.
Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
Section B.1 Distance Formula. The distance formula is used for finding the distance between two points. In two dimensions it is simply an application of the Pythagorean theorem. Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the distance between them is: d = (x2 −x1)2 + (y2 −y1)2− −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√. (B.1.1)
