Question about angles & vectors: So if I say something move 15 degrees...?

[Nobrain98]

So if I say something move 15 degrees, thats a scalar, if I say it moved 15 Degrees counter-clockwise, would it then be a vector?

No....

"Something" does not move 15° - it can rotate 15°.

General "finite" angular rotation is neither vector nor scalar (does not follow commutative law of addition).

However, angular velocity is vector.

What subhotosh khan is correct but I want to add something. A vector has length and direction AND a scalar has a length. 15 degrees is NOT a length so it can't be a scalar and hence has no chance on being a vector.
