Not at all. Scalar are numerical quantities without direction (for example time) where as vectors are numerical
quantities with direction (for example gravitational force downward)

A scalar times a vector is a vector.

Time is scalar
No it is not a vector
Position is a vector quantity.

Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
Mass is a scalar value. Scalar refers to the magnitude of the object. Vector refers to the direction. If an object is moving, it's mass is scalar and its velocity is vectorial because the velocity has a magnitude (how fast) and a direction. Hope this helps. Search Scalar and vector for the true scientific definitions.
A vector is characterized by having not only a magnitude, but a direction. If a direction is not relevant, the quantity is called a scalar.
The magnitude alone of a vector quantity is often referred to as the scalar component of the vector. This represents the size or length of the vector without considering its direction.
When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
