Rasters and Vectors.
Vectors use a mathematical equation to make it seem like you can zoom in infinitely into it and there will be no pixels. It most commonly used in illustrator to make logos for shirts, jackets, sweaters, etc. It is also commonly used for flash animations for videos. Vectors can be resized to any size making it easy to fit on things that are any size without turning into pixels. You can't do this in programs like photoshop, though. There are specialized programs like Illustrator that specialize in vector photos.
Rasters can be zoomed into, and they will show many pixels that make up the photo. They are most commonly used when taking photos, and there are different numbers of pixels you can have for pictures, for example, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, etc. It is also easier to tell what is happening if you are zoomed out enough. It defaults to taking rasterized photos when taking pictures. You have to make vectors, meaning you can't take a picture in vector format. Rasters are easy to acquire, you just need a camera. They are good for rich and colourful pictures.
