The short answer is a president runs an entire country, where a governor just runs one state. Thus, a president may sign legislation that affects the states, and has far more authority than a governor does.

Is governor more powerful than a vice president?

Yes, I think. State governors made more decisions and have more official duties than a vice-president. Vice-presidents nowadays have access to the President, so a VP who has a particular issue he wants to press has a better chance of getting some action on it but governors of large states with a lot of electoral votes have considerably power. A governor who can deliver his state's votes in the presidential election has a lot of power in Washington as well as at home.
