It is the same. The only difference is that between a ray and a line.
A ray starts at one point and goes in ONE direction forever. Imagine if you had a laser gun that would cut through anything. The point where a ray starts is just like the body of the laser gun-- it is where the laser beam starts and the laser only goes away from it in one direction, while the ray itself is like the laser beam--it starts at the gun and will cut through anything in its path.
A line does not start or stop at any specific point and goes on in both directions forever. Alternatively, you could think of it as being a laser gun that has some sort of problem where it fires the laser out of the front and the back at the same time.

What is a line that has a beginning but no end?
A ray.
Can a ray be a line segment?
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.
Is a ray part of a line line?
Yes, because a ray is a line with an end point. It goes on forever in one direction.
In geometry is laser beam a line or a ray?
A ray
Does a line always contains a line segment and ray?
yes, because a line segment is part of a line and a ray goes on forever and it does always happen
