It's called a "chord" of the circle. If it happens to go through the center of the circle,
then it's also called a "diameter" of the circle, and no other chord in the same circle
can be longer.

What part of the circle is A line segment with both its endpoints on the circumference and which does not pass through the centre of the circle.?

A line segment with both its endpoints on the circumference of a circle, which does not pass through the center, is called a chord. Chords can vary in length, with the longest chord being the diameter, which does pass through the center. Chords divide the circle into two arcs, and their lengths can be determined based on their distance from the center.
