Given that time only has one dimension, it doesn't make much sense to talk about time as a "vector". Well, technically you can have one-dimensional vectors, but those are simply called "scalars".In the Theory of Relativity, time is simply one dimension more, together with the three dimensions of space. In this case, time by itself is NOT a vector quantity, but a component of a vector quantity.
