Is it possible to draw two lines on a sphere that are parallel?

If by parallel, you mean two lines that do not intersect, yes, it is possible to draw them on the surface of a sphere. They will end up being circles, and most pairs will not be equal in size. If you add the idea that the two lines also continue to infinity to the definition, then you cannot draw such things on the surface of a sphere.

What does a parrallelogram look like?
Draw one pair of intersecting (crossing) lines. For each of the two lines, draw another that is parallel to it. The four lines will enclose a space which is a parallelogram.
How do you draw two parallel lines using only a straightedge and a protractor?
Draw a line. Draw a perpendicular to that line then a perpendicular from that one.
Is it possible to draw a triangle with three right angles on a sphere?
It is impossible to have a triangle with 3 right angles. It is possible to draw a triangle with three right angles on the surface of a sphere: www.metacafe.com/watch/769025/270_degree_triangle_yes_3_right_angles
How do you draw a trapezoid?
Draw two parallel lines of unequal length, and connect their end points. If you have a right angle, it is a right trapezoid. If the non-parallel sides are equal in length, it is an isosceles trapezoid.
How do you draw a quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides?
A quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram (two sets of parallel sides) may be a trapezoid or a trapezium (US terms). To draw a trapezium (irregular quadrilateral), draw two parallel lines and connect them with unequal lines at non-congruent angles. If you make the angles opposite and congruent, you have drawn a trapezoid, which looks like a small stepstool with a top smaller than the base. If you make the connecting lines of equal length, you have drawn a trapezoid or parallelogram.
Do spheres have skew lines?
Yes, it is possible to draw lines on the surface of a sphere that are neither parallel nor intersecting.
Two parallel lines are coplanar?
Not necessarily. The Tropic of Cancer, and the Tropic of Capricorn, imaginary lines on the surface of the earth (an approximate sphere), are parallel but they are not coplanar. You could draw similar lnes on a proper sphere that were parallel but not coplanar.
Is it possible to draw sphere?
It is certainly possible to draw a 2 dimensional picture of a sphere, and make it look like a true sphere.
How many line can draw on surface of sphere?
you can draw infinite lines
Can you draw lines that are parallel but not intersecting?
That's the only kind of parallel lines there are, non-intersecting!
Can you draw two lines on a sheet of paper that are both parallel and perpendicular?
No, you can't have two lines that are both parallel and perpendicular.
When parrarel lines meets?
For most purposes in algebra and geometry, but especially geometry, parallel lines never meet. This should be the answer you give on nearly every question. However, speaking realistically, parallel lines can meet on planes of negative and positive curvature. An example of positive curvature would be a sphere; on a sphere, if you try to draw a triangle, the interior sum would be more than 180degrees and parallel lines would intersect. Similarly, on a plane of negative curvature like that of a surface of a saddle, the sum of the measures of the triangle would be less that 180 degrees and once again parallel lines will intersect.
Can you draw a quadrilateral with no parallel lines and one right angel?
Yes. Not here, of course, but it can be done. Draw a right angle. Draw two more lines from those end points at acute angles that connect in the middle. It will look something like a chevron, a "V" shape.
How do you draw the Chinese character for 2?
Two parallel lines!
What is a sentence using the word parallels?
Those railroad lines are very parallel to each other!
Are right angles parallel?
Parallel refers to lines and not angles A right angle is formed by 2 lines that are perpendicular to each other and not parallel If you already have a line and you draw two lines which are at right angles to it, those two lines are parallel.
How do you draw parallel perpendicular bisector?
Two lines cannot be parallel and perpendicular at the same time.
