显著 vs 明显

显著 is usually something positive, something good that stands out from the rest.
明显 is simply "obvious", easy to see, feel or detect. It is a very neutral adjective and can be used on both positive or negative things.

No, 显著 (xiǎnzhù) is not commonly used in conversation. This word is more often used in formal writing or in academic contexts. It is used to describe something that is very noticeable or stands out from the rest. For example, a person might say that a certain event had a 显著 (xiǎnzhù) impact on the economy. In casual conversation, a person might use a more common word such as 明显 (míngxiǎn) which means "obvious" or 显而易见 (xiǎn ér yì jiàn) which means "evident".
