Almost all of us would say that angle is a scalar quantity.

But the beauty is that angle is a vector quantity. Now the question arises. Where will be the direction?

As we measure the angle in a plane in counter clockwise direction, then direction of angle vector will be perpendicular to the plane and coming out of the surface.

If the angle is measured in clockwise then vector would go into the surface normally.

As angle becomes vector then angular velocity w = @/t also becomes a vector.
