Assuming you mean sum and not some, the answer is No.
It is a displacement equal in magnitude to the difference between the two vectors, and in the direction of the larger vector.
The angle between two vectors significantly influences the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector. When two vectors are aligned in the same direction, their magnitudes simply add up, resulting in a larger resultant vector. Conversely, if they are at an angle to each other, the resultant vector's magnitude can be calculated using the cosine rule, and its direction is determined by the vector addition process. The greater the angle between the vectors, the more the resultant vector's magnitude can be diminished.
The length of the arrows could represent either the magnitude or the direction of the vectors. If the length represents magnitude, longer arrows would represent larger magnitudes of the vectors. If the length represents direction, the arrows would be all the same length, but pointing in different directions to represent different vectors.
The magnitude of the sum is the difference between the magnitudes of the two numbers. The sign of the sum is the sign of the number with the larger magnitude. (The "magnitude" of a number is just the size of the number without any sign.)
No, the statement is incorrect. The sum of two vectors of equal magnitude will not equal the magnitude of either vector. The sum of two vectors of equal magnitude will result in a new vector that is larger than the original vectors due to vector addition. The magnitude of the difference between the two vectors will be smaller than the magnitude of either vector.

When two vectors are in opposite directions, their resultant is the difference between their magnitudes, with the direction of the larger vector. This means the resultant vector points in the direction of the larger vector and its magnitude is the difference between the magnitudes of the two vectors.
When two vectors with different magnitudes and opposite directions are added :-- The magnitude of the sum is the difference in the magnitudes of the two vectors.-- The direction of the sum is the direction of the larger of the two vectors.
No, two vectors of unequal magnitude cannot have a sum of zero. The resultant of adding two vectors is determined both by their magnitudes and directions. If the vectors have unequal magnitudes, the resultant vector will have a magnitude that is at least as large as the larger of the two original vectors.
The resultant vector has maximum magnitude if the vectors act in concert. That is, if the angle between them is 0 radians (or degrees). The magnitude of the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of the vectors.For two vectors, the resultant is a minimum if the vectors act in opposition, that is the angle between them is pi radians (180 degrees). In this case the resultant has a magnitude that is equal to the difference between the two vectors' magnitudes, and it acts in the direction of the larger vector.At all other angles, the resultant vector has intermediate magnitudes.
In one dimension, the length of the arrows represents the magnitude or size of the vectors. Longer arrows indicate larger magnitudes, while shorter arrows indicate smaller magnitudes. The direction of the arrows indicates the direction of the vectors.
The length of the arrows could represent either the magnitude or the direction of the vectors. If the length represents magnitude, longer arrows would represent larger magnitudes of the vectors. If the length represents direction, the arrows would be all the same length, but pointing in different directions to represent different vectors.

The magnitude of the sum is the difference between the magnitudes of the two numbers. The sign of the sum is the sign of the number with the larger magnitude. (The "magnitude" of a number is just the size of the number without any sign.)
The magnitude of the gravitational force between two bodies depends on the mass of the bodies and the distance between them. The larger the mass of the bodies, the greater the gravitational force, and the closer the bodies are, the stronger the gravitational force.
