    In Mathematics and Physics, scalar is a quantity or a single number that shows the measurement of a medium in magnitude only (It does not include direction as vectors do); examples of scalars are voltage, mass, temperature, speed, volume, power, energy, and time.

    Two examples of scalars I have used recently are Degrees Celsius to measure the temperature of my living room and Cubic Feet to measure the volume of my mug.
