Intersecting lines are, lines that cross over each other just like intersections on the road, which are cross sections from each end.
the type that go on forever are just called lines but the ones that end are segments
Oh, dude, diverging lines are like two lines that just can't agree on where they're going. They start at the same point and then just drift apart, like a bad breakup. They'll never meet no matter how hard they try, just like me and waking up early.
When applied to two line segments, they are said to be congruent if they are both exactly the same length, but they need not be parallel to each other (they can also bisect each other). Thickness does not matter as lines have no thickness (thickness only applies to shapes). However, it should be noted that rays and lines are not congruent as their lengths are infinite. Rays have no defined end point while lines have neither a start nor an end point defined. Line segments always have both a start and an end point defined.
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.
