Velocity has a DIRECTION as well as a MAGNITUDE (that is, velocity is a VECTOR quantity if you've learnt that term yet)
The magnitude of velocity is called SPEED (just a POSITIVE number/scalar, not a vector)
Velocity is speed with a direction
Velocity is speed with direction
The technical difference is that speed has no direction but velocity has one.
velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar
Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.
The difference between an object's speed and an object's velocity is that the object's speed is how fast it is going, and the object's velocity is how many units of speed the object has traveled.
speed is the measure of an object
Speed is just a number; velocity includes information about the direction. In physical terms, speed is a scalar, whereas velocity is a vector.

They have exactly the same size. The difference is that 'velocity' tells you which way the 'speed' is going.
