There is no intrinsic difference. Either can be named using the names of any two points on them, or using any letter or symbol of any alphabet - including symbols that you have made up.

naming a line is different from naming a ray. say for example ,if we have line AB,this is similar to line BA while ray AB is different from ray BA.
When naming a ray the endpoint is written first.
A ray is different from a segement because a ray is half of a line and does not end in one side only but the segement it is half of a line that ends.
line segments have two definite points, A and B, a ray has has only one definite point and the over indefinite point is a continuous line
They are alike because a ray is part of a line, a segment is part of a line, and a line is basically a line. They are different because a segment has two end points; a ray has one, and a line is a group of points on a straight path that extends to infinity like a ray extends to infinity in one direction
