Magnitude means the length of a vector (distance between two points). It's used in ROBLOX to find the distance between two positions, using the formula "sqrt(x2 + y2 + z2)" according to the wiki. People use > to see if the distance is at a certain point to do a certain thing such as alert a player. You can learn more in depth about this here.
Example
local position1 = workspace.Part1.Position
local position2 = workspace.Part2.Position
local distance = (position2 - position1).Magnitude -- find distance between two parts
if distance > 5 then
-- do stuff...
end

Sorry that I made a mistake like most humans do, but no need to be rude about it. Ultimate_Piccolo 201 — 5y

And besides that, the wiki uses magnitude over Magnitude, so I didn't know. Ultimate_Piccolo 201 — 5y
