What is Magnitude ?

Magnitude refers to the size, extent, or quantity of something. In various contexts, it describes the amount or measure of a physical quantity. For example, in physics, the magnitude of a vector (like force or velocity) is its length or size, irrespective of its direction. In general usage, it represents the overall scale or importance of an object or phenomenon.
