If we have a vector P, then we name it's components by the axis we project it onto.

In 2D Cartesian coordinate system we have one x axis and one y axis.

Vector P can then be represented with two components: Px and Py.

Px is the component of vector P on the x axis and Py is the component of the vector P on the y axis.
