Is spherical geometry a form of euclidean?

No, both spherical and hyperbolic geometries are noneuclidian.


Where do parallels meet?

In Euclidean geometry, parallels never meet. In other geometry, such as spherical geometry, this is not true.


Are the rules of parallel and perpendicular lines different in spherical geometry than in Euclidean geometry?

yes


Is it true that in the nineteenth century Euclidean geometry was disproved by spherical geometry which was in turn disproved by hyperbolic geometry?

False.


In the nineteenth century Euclidean geometry was disproved by spherical geometry which was in turn disproved by hyperbolic geometry.g?

No. Spherical geometry did not disprove Euclidean geometry but demonstrated that more than one geometries were possible. Different circumstances required different geometries. Similarly hyperbolic geometry did not disprove either of the others.


Riemann's Negation created what famous form of non-Euclidean geometry?

Spherical


What is the difference between Euclidean Geometry and non-Euclidean Geometry?

In Euclidean geometry parallel lines are always the same distance apart. In non-Euclidean geometry parallel lines are not what we think of a parallel. They curve away from or toward each other. Said another way, in Euclidean geometry parallel lines can never cross. In non-Euclidean geometry they can.


Does a line go on forever in both directions?

In Euclidean geometry, yes.In Euclidean geometry, yes.In Euclidean geometry, yes.In Euclidean geometry, yes.


What is a characteristic of Euclidean geometry?

One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.
