    Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects are physically or relatively. In physics, distance refers to a physical length, while in other contexts it can refer to an estimation of separation. Distance between two points is always interchangeable, regardless of the starting and ending points. In mathematics, a distance function generalizes the concept of physical distance to describe how "close" or "far" elements are in a space. In psychology, distance is non-numerical and refers to how removed an object is from the self in dimensions like time, space, social aspects, and hypothetical scenarios.

    Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are.

    In physics or everyday
    usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two
    counties over"). In most cases, "distance from A to B" is interchangeable with "distance from B to A".
    In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance,
    a way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be "close to" or "far away from"
    each other. In psychology or social sciences distance is a non numerical measurement;
    Psychological distance is defined as "the different ways in which an object might be removed from"
    the self along dimensions such as "time, space, social distance, and hypotheticality.[1]
