It is a measurement that doesn't have direction, such as distance. A vector has direction
scalar
Scalar
No, it's a scalar measurement because it has magnitude only. A vector measurement has both a magnitude and a direction.

Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
A vector quantity.
Any measurement for which only a magnitude is required, but not a direction. The opposite of a vector: a measurement for which a direction IS relevant.
They only have a magnitude , no direction.
Vector
A scalar is a quantity that has only magnitude and no direction. In terms of measurement, a scalar measure is a numerical value representing the size or magnitude of a physical quantity without specifying the direction. Examples of scalar measures include temperature, distance, and speed.
Miles per hour and seconds are units of measurement of speed and time respectively, which are scalar quantities.
