    Scalar is defined as a quantity which can be expressed by a single number that represents its magnitude. for ex. temperature. Scalar field is hence defined as a region where at every point of it, a scalar function has a defined value. for ex. temperature distribution in a rod. Vector is defined as a quantity which is expressed by both magnitude and direction. for ex. velocity. Vector field is hence defined as a region where at every point of it, a vector function has a defined value. for ex. velocity of flowing liquid.

    vector means when we change the direction vector will change while scaler is invarient

    Any scalar is a quantity (number) without direction,like speed,temperature,while the vector has quantity and direction,like velocity,acceleration,force.This is in general.The field is a physical entity which ocuoies certain domain where its effect appears,for example the gravitational field is a vector field,the electromagnetic field is a vector field,while Higgs field is scalar,it is every where,around us, no specific direction,also gauge field is scalar field. Any vector has direction in addition to the quantity,while any scalar is quantity without specific direction
