No, think of them as railroad tracks. They are running in the same direction but do not cross.

Difference between tangent and parallel lines?
parallel lines never touch, never get any closer or any further apart. tangent lines touch at one point
Are parallel lines diagonal?
They can be as long as the don't intersect or touch at any point.
What are two lines called that are the same distance apart at any point?
They are parallel lines
What lines are parallel?
Parallel lines are lines which share the same gradient. In Euclidean geometry (the geometry used in standard mathematics and day-to-day physics), parallel lines will never meet at a point, but will share every point along their (infinite) lengths if 1 point is observed to coincide with both. The parallel postulate, which is a geometric axiom of Euclid's geometry, defines these properties. However, by moving into elliptical and hyperbolic geometries, parallel lines can be allow to intersect at points (where parallel lines are defined as 2 lines having the same gradient), whilst still retaining logically consistent geometrical definitions. Parallel lines are the opposite of perpendicular lines which meet at right angles.
Will perpendular lines on the same plane ever touch?
Of course. Any lines in the same plane (if extended far enough) that are not parallel must intersect.

What are parallel lines and transverse lines equal to in an equation?
parallel lines are those line which does not have any intersecting point.
What are two lines called that are the same distance apart at any point?
They are parallel lines
Why is there only one kind of parallel lines?
parallel lines are any lines that will never touch. on a 3D plane, there will be many lines that won't intersect another. but parallel lines have a specific definition that there is no way to subcatigorize it
Parallel lines are defined as lines that have only one point in common?
No, parallel lines never intersect, so they do not have any points in common. Intersecting lines have one common point.
What lines are parallel?

Does parallel lines intersect at any point?
No.Parallel lines never meet and don't intersect too.
How are two line that are parallel to each other different from any other two lines?
Two parallel lines never meet or intersect. Two lines that aren't parallel must have one point somewhere where they intersect.
What are lines that have no points in common?
Answer: Two lines that never touch or have any points in common are parallel. If there was a slight angle difference with one of the lines, they would eventually cross somewhere. Perfectly parallel lines will always remain parallel and will never cross each other. Answer: If they are also in the same plane, they are said to be parallel.
Will perpendular lines on the same plane ever touch?
Of course. Any lines in the same plane (if extended far enough) that are not parallel must intersect.
What has lines that never touch each other?
Any plane shape that has two or more sets of parallel lines. For example, any regular polygon with an even number of sides.
