No temperature is a scalar quantity.
No, air pressure is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude only and no specific direction. It describes the force exerted by air molecules on a surface.
Air pressure in a tire is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but no specific direction associated with it.
Look in the room that you are in. Its temperature varies at every point in the room. IN addition, notice that the air moves at different rates at each part of the room and therefore in different directions. The temperature is different at every point but it has no direction. It just has one value at each point in the room - temperature. On the other hand, the air is moving at different rates (velocity) around the room. Therefore it has a magnitude concerning the velocity. Unlike the temperature however, the air is also moving in a certain direction at each point. Therefore, at each point in space, the temperature is different and has only one value of magnitude so it is a scalar field. The air would be known as a vector field because in addition to its magnitude, its velocity, it has direction because it is moving.
The index of refraction of air at room temperature is approximately 1.0003.
No, air resistance is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It acts in the opposite direction to the motion of an object moving through the air.

A thermostat controls the temperature of an air conditioner by sensing the current temperature in a room and comparing it to the desired temperature set by the user. When the room temperature is higher than the desired temperature, the thermostat signals the air conditioner to turn on and cool the room. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat signals the air conditioner to turn off.
That is not a standard quantity. It depends on temperature, surface area and air movement.
The air conditioner switch controls the operation of the air conditioning unit. It regulates the temperature in a room by turning the unit on or off based on the temperature setting selected by the user. When the room temperature rises above the set point, the switch activates the air conditioner to cool the room. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, the switch turns off the air conditioner to maintain the set temperature.
Blowing cold air in is better for effective temperature control in a room.
Blowing hot air out is better for effective temperature control in a room.
Air pressure inside a tire is a scalar quantity because it only has a magnitude (a numerical value) and no direction.
The air conditioner cycles on when the temperature in the room rises above the desired level, and off when it reaches the desired temperature. This is controlled by a thermostat that senses the room temperature and signals the air conditioner to turn on or off accordingly.
