They are two unique and separate powers neither holding more or less power as they hold powers in different realms. However, if you are referring to a State Senator as opposed to a member of the Federal Senate than a governor may hold some sway over them with the power to veto and otherwise execute legislation.
The governor runs the executive branch of a state government.
There are two different types of Senates. There is a state senate and a national senate. The person who is elected or appointed (generally upon the death or relocation of a sitting senator such as in the recent cases of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama) to either position is a Senatorial Representative of the State within the federal government and would represent the state and at least in part, through those actions, support the state government ... and by extension, the governor himself.
A state senator is part of the state legislative branch and is part of the legislative process. All legislature is put before the governor (In the executive branch) in order to be signed into law or vetoed and sent back to the legislative body.
