What is the main difference between a bitmap image and a vector image?

Bitmap images use pixels; vector images use mathematical equations.

Vector images are always grayscale; bitmap images are always in color.

Bitmap images are scalable; vector images are not.

Vector images are always larger in file size.

Bitmap images are composed of pixels (raster), while vector images are based on geometric shapes (lines, curves).
