There are two main meanings of magnitude.
One is the absolute value. In this context, the magnitude of the number is its size, irrespective of the sign. So, the magnitude of -4 is the same as the magnitude of 4.
The other is in the sense of the order of magnitude. This is usually used when the measurement scale is logarithmic. The apparent brightness of stars, for example is expressed in magnitude. Brightest stars = magnitude 1. Stars half as bright = mag 2, quarter as bright = mag 3 etc. Or [deci]bel for the loudness of sound.
Incidentally, the Richter scale, for measuring the strength of earthquakes is not a systematic measure in this sense. The measure is largely based on the effects of the quake at the surface.

What does it mean to find the magnitude of a vector?
The magnitude of a vector is a geometrical value for hypotenuse.. The magnitude is found by taking the square root of the i and j components.
What does magnitude mean in math form?
The distance from zero.
Is it possible for the magnitude of the some of two vectors to be larger than the sum of the magnitude of the vectors?
Assuming you mean sum and not some, the answer is No.
What is an absolute mean?
An absolute mean is a mean of the absolute magnitude of a function with both positive and negative values.
What does scalar quanity mean?
Scalar quantity is when you have a magnitude but no direction such as speed
