In plane geometry, two straight lines are either parallel (including coincident) or they meet at a point. In three dimensions, however, there is another option: the lines could be skew. These are lines that are not parallel but which do not intersect either. One way to visualise this is to place yourself in a cuboid room facing one wall. Consider the vertical line where the wall in front of you meets the wall to your left. And then consider the line where the floor meets the wall to your right. These two lines are not parallel but they will never meet. These are skew lines.

Can segments and rays be skew lines if they lie in skew lines?
They can be, and are, "skew". If they are not lines, they cannot be "skew lines".
Do lines that skew intersect?
No. Skew lines do not intersect
Do skew lines always intersect?
Skew lines never intersect. If two lines intersect, then they are known as "intersecting lines", not skew lines.
What are skew lines?
skew lines are noncoplanar lines, which means they aren't parallel and they also don't intersect skew lines do not intersect and are not coplanar
Are skew lines in the same plane?
No. Skew lines must be in different planes. Skew lines have no common points (they never cross).
Are parallel lines also called skew lines?
No. Skew lines are lines in different planes that are parallel.
Are skew lines never parallel?
Correct! Skew lines can never by be parallel.
Do skew lines intersect?
SKEW LINES are neither parallel nor intersecting.
Are skew lines parallel?
No. If they are parallel, then a plane exists which both lines lie in. Skew lines can not be on the same plane.
Can skew lines cross?
Skew lines can refer to non-coplanar lines and, if that is the case, they cannot cross.
Are skew lines perpendicular?
No, skew lines are not perpendicular. Perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of ninety degrees, while skew lines never intersect (think in three dimensions or higher).
Two noncoplanar liner that do not intersect?
They are skew line. Skew line are two lines that do not intersect but are not parallel.Another definition is skew lines are straight lines that are not in the same plane and do not intersect.Either way, skew lines are the answer to your question since they are noncoplanar and do not intersect.
