Half a line through a circle is called a "diameter" if it passes through the center of the circle, dividing it into two equal halves. If it does not pass through the center, it is referred to as a "chord." A diameter is the longest chord of the circle, while any chord that does not pass through the center is simply a shorter segment of the circle.
