Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.For example- distance, speed, time, temperature, etc.

A scalar or scalar quantity in physics is a physical quantity that can be described by a single element of a number field such as a real number, often accompanied by units of measurement. A scalar is usually said to be a physical quantity that only has magnitude and no other characteristics. This is in contrast to vectors, tensors, etc. which are described by several numbers that characterize their magnitude, direction, and so on.
The concept of a scalar in physics is essentially the same as in mathematics.
