What is magnitude used for?

question in the name of the post

can you guys tell me what to use it for and when to use magnitude?

I saw the dev forum and it said " Magnitude is a mathematical term which can mean several things. In vector theory, magnitude is the length of a vector."

but also why do you need the length of a vector?
