No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
Charles Richter made it so it can measure the size of an earthquake.
The difference is that intensity is the extent of damage released by an earthquake and is measured differently at different places depending on its distance from the epicenter while the magnitude is the amount of energy released by an earthquake and it has a fixed energy as it is released by an earthquake.
the scale used to measure the intensity of earthquakes
A number of scales are used to measure earthquakes. These are broadly split into two main types. Magnitude scales and intensity scales. Magnitude scales give an indication of the amount of energy released during an earthquake and intensity scales give an indication of the sevirity of ground shaking and resultant damage in a given location. For more information on these, please see the related questions.
PAGASA used richter scale to measure the intensity of an earthquake
seismograph is how to measure the intensity the earthquake will be or was.
Seismometer
The Richter magnitude scale is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.

Mercalli
Intensity
The effects of an earthquake on people and buildings.
Earthquakes are measure with a seismograph which indicates the intensity of earth crust´s movements this measurement is call Richter 1 being less intensity and 10 being major intensity.
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
The modified mercalli intensity scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake and is in part derived from the damage done to building and other structures.
