    Joules is unfortunately a vector because it’s over a distance in a direction. Temperature is a scalar. Sometimes scalars are better than vectors.

    Edit:Ok for those who don’t actually understand joules in its units J=KG•M2/s2 or N•D, it’s force which is a vector over a distance, this requires a magnitude and direction. This is because force is a vector and Joules is using force. All of you are starting to be confidently incorrect… Joules is a vector you can search it up.

      What? Joule is an energy unit and energy is a scalar quantity and not a vector. There is no “energy direction” and no “distance”.

      Edit: even your edit doesn’t make sense. Provide a source that says that energy or joule is somehow a vector.
