They are similar in the sense that you can write normal CSS code in scss(sass). SCSS is a CSS preprocessor which allows you to use functions(mixins), variables, and nest CSS rules in each other. SCSS main purpose is DRY(Don't Repeat Yourself) rule.

CSS is the styling language that your browser understands and uses to style webpages. SCSS is a special type of file for SASS, a program written in Ruby that assembles CSS style sheets for a browser. SASS adds lots of additional functionality to CSS like variables, nesting and more which can make writing CSS easier and faster. SCSS files are processed by the server running a web app to output a traditional CSS that your browser can understand.
