What is the difference between a day and a line segment
zepelin [54]

Hello!

I do believe you meant to say:

"What is the difference between a <em>ray</em> and a line segment?"

The difference between a ray and a line segment is:

A ray has one endpoint and continues in one direction. a ray is infinite

A line segment has two endpoints. a line segment is finite

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
