Generation

# Euclidean vs Non-Euclidean Geometry **Euclidean geometry** follows the flat-space rules established by Euclid, where parallel lines never meet and the angles of a triangle sum to exactly 180°. **Non-Euclidean geometry** describes curved spaces where Euclid's parallel postulate fails—in spherical geometry (positive curvature), parallel lines eventually intersect, while in hyperbolic geometry (negative curvature), multiple parallel lines can pass through a single point. The key distinction appears in the **angle sum of triangles**: - Euclidean: **α + β + γ = 180°** - Spherical: **α + β + γ > 180°** - Hyperbolic: **α + β + γ < 180°** Non-Euclidean geometries describe real-world phenomena like Einstein's curved spacetime and navigation on Earth's surface.
