A segment has 2 endpoints.
A ray has only 1 endpoint, where the other end is an infinite line.
To perform the set operation of a segment and a ray, you first define the endpoints of the segment and the starting point and direction of the ray. The intersection points between the segment and the ray can be calculated using equations that represent both geometrical entities. If the ray extends beyond the segment, the section of the ray that lies within the segment is the result. Geometrically, this operation can be visualized as identifying the portion of the ray that overlaps with the segment.
line: it goes on for infinity. <---------> line segment: has 2 endpoints, does not continue. -------- ray: starts at one point, then goes on for infinity. --------->
yes it can because a Ray is a line segment with an arrow at the end.
A ray has a single start point, and goes on infinitely in one direction. A line segment has two end points and is finite. A line has no end points and goes on infinitely in two directions.
They are not. A line segment is of finite length whereas a ray is infinitely long.
a ray continues on and on but a line segment stops
segment=4949,ray=9898

A line segment has a end point. A ray goes on forever until it hits something, like another ray.

No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
i think that normal is a line segment and normal ray is a line with an arrow head like vector to point in a certain direction....

It is a segment in case you do not know what a segment is it is a line with two end points
