How can i creat a zip file using tar

You can't do that with tar. You have to create it with the zip command.

man zip

Read the man pages for tar. Open a terminal window, and enter the command 'man tar' (without quotes). Basically, to create a zipped tar archive, include the -z option in your command. Such as: tar -czf (tar create zipped file, followed by the filename to create, followed by the names of the files to include in the archive).

That would be gzip, not zip, although I don't know much the differences.
