A scalar means that there is no direction associated to the number. The scalar number can be associated to a mass, a length, or a speed so as long as there is no direction associated to it. If there is a direction, than it becomes a vector.

What are the vector and scalar fields?

In mathematics, a field is a set with certain operators (such as addition and multiplication) defined on it and where the members of the set have certain properties. In a vector field, each member of this set has a value AND a direction associated with it. In a scalar field, there is only vaue but no direction.
