It could be, but not necessarily. If one ray is parallel to the ground, the other ray could be going straight up, or it could be parallel to the ground also, just going in a different direction. Think of an L. The angle in that L is 90 degrees. You could rotate that L in any direction so that it sticks straight up, or you could rotate it so that it is flat to the ground, or so that it is pointing down. It is still 90 degrees.
