Magnitude Difference Question

Vector3.Magnitude(transform.position)

and

rigidbody.velocity.magnitude

They don't give the same magnitude. Why is that? What's the difference between them?

Thanks.

position is the (current) distance from the origin (0,0,0).

velocity involves movement, meter/second. The magnitude is the 'speed'
