Inngeometry, a ray is a line that has a beginning, but no end.nThis is kind of like a ray of light coming from a star. The light raynhas a starting point (the star) but no ending point; it just goes onnforever. (In reality, a lot of light does not go on “forever,”nbut gets absorbed when it runs into a planet, or anbit of interstellar dust, or a star, etc..)

Herenis a link to a story about children who live on Venus. (Note thatnBradbury wrote the story before our space probes and other machinesndiscovered that Venus is super hot!) WARNING: This story is somewhat disturbing.
