A circle is NOT made up of straight lines.
As the number of sides of an n-gon are increased and the length of each side is reduced, the distance between the n-gon and the circle can be made smaller than an arbitrarily small number. The n-gon TENDS to the circle as the length of the largest straight line segment tends to zero but that does not mean the two are ever the same.

Can a curved surface have any straight lines like a semicircle for example?
if you are drawing a circle with the help of circle tool in computer with paint, you will find that if you zoom it,the circle is made with small lines.
What is a Plane figure which may have between one to one million sides?
That would make a circle. Only when you zoom in would you see that it is made of tiny straight lines.
Is a straight line a straight line and why?
Depends. Probably not because nothing is perfect! :)i have to disagree - the sides of crystals are straight~*Sigh*All lines are straight. A man-made one may not be, but by the correct definition, all lines are straight. Straight lines are a mathematical concept - an ideal concept - and therefore, conceptually, all lines are straight even if man-made ones are mere approximations.
How many straight lines are there in alphabet w?
There are no straight lines in the letter "W" because it is made up of two diagonal lines intersecting at a point.
How a zero angle is made?
an angle is made from 2 lines so a circle does not have angles
