They are not same. But you can use MacBook Pro 2013 power adapter to charge MacBook Air 13 inch.
Wattage differs.
Power Adapter/ cord wattage
“Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.”
