Yes, they can. Since three points define a plane, take any two points on one line and a point on the other line, and form the plane with those three points. Once you have that, then use Euclid's test to see if they are parallel. Alternately, if the planes themselves are parallel, then the lines are as well, since they definitely will never intersect.

No. Lines which are parallel to one another must be in the same plane.

Can two circles be parallel?

The circles could be in 2 planes that are parallel to each other. Lines and planes can be parallel. Lines of latitude are examples of circles that are in parallel planes.


What are lines that lie in different planes that do not intersect?

Parallel lines would always lie in the same plane. They would need to be skew lines.


How is skew lines are different from parallel lines?

Skew lines are lines that lie on separate planes. and do not intercept parallel lines that are sometimes on the same plane, but don't intersect


What is the name of two lines that never intersect but are on different planes?

They're either parallel lines or skew lines.

What are two lines that do not intersect and are in different planes?

Parallel Lines. If they are in different planes, they need not be parallel. Think of a cuboid room. Line 1 is the edge formed by the floor and the wall opposite you. Line 2 is the edge formed by the wall behind you and the wall to your right. These two lines will not meet but they are certainly not parallel.


How are parallel lines and parallel planes used in architecture?

parallel lines are used in the white house. The columns holding it up are parallel lines and the floor and the roof of a room are parallel planes as long as they are the same shape
