No.
Gas is a unit of computing work to run a Smart Contract. Running a function in a Smart Contract will consume a certain amount of gas. It's similar to the way a car trip will consume a certain amount of fuel.
Ether is used to pay for gas. Gas price is variable. There are good economically-based reasons for separating the measurement of work performed and the cost per unit of work.
More detailed information here: What is "gas" and transaction fee in Ethereum?
Hope it helps.
