No. Parallel key signatures share the same tonic, or starting note. Relative minor/major are the scales that share a key signature.
That would be the relative major or minor (example: C major and A minor).

The keys of C major and A minor have no sharps or flats.
Each major key has a relative minor key and vice versa. For example a key signature with one sharp can refer to either the G major or the e minor keys. For major keys there is only one scale type. For minor keys there are 3: pure, harmonic, and melodic. In pure(natural) minor none of the scale degrees are altered. In harmonic minor the seventh scale degree is raised half a step. In melodic minor the seventh and the sixth scale degrees are raised half a step, ascending and returned to their pure minor descending.
The key signature is E flat major, which is also, C minor, the relative minor of E flat major. You can find out what flat key signature you're in by finding the second to last flat (in this case E flat). It is the major version of that key signature!
Parallel keys in music theory are major and minor keys that share the same tonic note, while relative keys are major and minor keys that have the same key signature.
The relative minor key shares the same key signature as its major counterpart but starts on a different note, while the parallel minor key has a different key signature than its major counterpart.
Parallel major and minor keys have the same tonic pitch. Therefore, E minor is the parallel minor of E Major.
A major key and a minor key are related because they share the same key signature. The concept of relative keys refers to a major key and its relative minor key, which have the same key signature. For example, C major and A minor are relative keys because they share the same key signature of no sharps or flats.
The relative major key of a keyword is the major key that shares the same key signature, while the relative minor key is the minor key that shares the same key signature.
C MINOR is the relative minor to Eb major, meaning both keys have the same key signature.
That would be the relative major or minor (example: C major and A minor).
Yes, D minor and F major share the same key signature of one flat (Bb). They are also considered relative keys, with D minor being the relative minor of F major and F major being the relative major of D minor.
The minor keys usually have a darker sound and feel to them - as opposed to the major keys which sound generally brighter. The minor keys are based on the sixth degree of a given major scale (lets take D major as an example, if we go up six steps in this scale we get the notes D, E, F♯, G, A, and B). So B minor will have the same key signature as D major (with two sharps). In a major scale there are four semitones between the first and third degrees of the scale but in minor keys there are only three semitones. So in the D major scale the third scale degree (mediant) is F♯ but the same degree in D minor if F♮ (natural). As with the major keys, minor keys can also contain up to seven sharps or flats in their key signature too.

No, C major and A minor are not the same in music theory. They are related as relative major and minor keys, sharing the same key signature, but they have different tonal centers and characteristics.
To identify minor key signatures, look at the number of sharps or flats in the key signature. For minor keys, the key signature will indicate the relative major key, and the starting note of the minor key will be a minor third below the major key's starting note.
