On the other hand, velocity, in Physics, must be expressed as a vector with both a magnitude and a direction. For instance, 5 m/s Eastward is a velocity because it tells you the magnitude of the movement, 5 meters per second, as well as the direction which is Eastward.

In physics, magnitude means greatness of size or extent.
A vector has a magnitude and a direction, its magnitude being the numerical value of its length, size or quantity.
A scalar in physics is defined by magnitude or quantity and not by direction.
Mass, charge, volume, time, speed, temperature are examples of scalars with magnitude.
The magnitude of a physical quantity is usually given by a number with a certain unit.
The expression order of magnitude is used when comparing things which are ten times, 100 times, 1000 times, or power of tens times in relation to each other.
