A Scalar value is considered to only need a magnitude. A magnitude is just a value. Speed is considered a scalar quantity since it does not tell you anything about direction, just that's it's going 60 mph.

A vector quantity is made up of both a magnitude and a direction. An example is velocity. Velocity you state how fast you are going, and the direction in which you are going in.

Scalar quantities are physical quantities that have magnitude only, such as mass or temperature. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, like velocity or force. Scalars are represented by single values, while vectors are represented by arrows indicating both magnitude and direction.
