I think a vector image is done by drawing only the image. A raster image is done by scanning many very tight scans across the screen, left to right lines, covering top to bottom, very fast. Any area that is not used in the image is blocked out, leaving only the desired image visible.

Vector drawings are based on points and the lines connecting them. You can zoom in to any level and still maintain smooth lines. You create these types of images with tools like Adobe Illustrator.
Raster (or bitmap) images are made up of pixels (dots). The more pixels, the more detail the image could hold. If you zoom in far enough on a raster image you can see the pixels. You can create images like this with Adobe Photoshop. Your digital camera also captures this type of images.
Most all of the images you see on the internet are raster images. Vector based images are usually used for print work (because they can scale up very large and still look good).

Think of vector as drawings made up with lines and raster as oil
