Neither. A cyclone is a broad scale low pressure system with cyclonically spiraling winds. A hurricane is one variety of cyclone, but not all cyclones are hurricanes. A tornado is an entirely different type of weather phenomenon.

No. Simply put, a hurricane is a specific type of cyclone (i.e. a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph). Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms which are in turn usually produced by a cyclone or the fronts that may be associated with it. But many cyclones do not produce tornadoes.

A cyclone is more closely related to a hurricane. A cyclone is a general term used to describe a rotating low-pressure weather system, which can develop into hurricanes, typhoons, or tropical cyclones depending on the region. Tornadoes, on the other hand, form in severe thunderstorms and are characterized by a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud extending from the sky to the ground.
