There are three kinds of Lines.
A line segment, which has two finite points.
A "ray", which has one finite point, and another extending in one direction, and
A "line", which figuratively speaking, extends in two opposing directions infinitely.
Also, if you're speaking about parallel, perpendicular, etc.
A set of parallel lines extend in both directions but never touch (like an equal sign) "="
Perpendicular lines intersect at a 90 degree angle ( like a plus sign ) +

skew, parallel, intersecting.

They are: -skew lines -parallel lines -intersecting lines -straight lines -zigzag lines -dotted lines -solid lines -curved lines -perpendicular lines
They are Lines of Latitude (or Parallels of Latitude), which encircle the world horizontally and are parallel to the Equator (Zero Latitude). Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is Zero Longitude, and the line passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Called both Elevation Lines or Contour Lines
