Elliptic Geometry

Elliptic geometry is a type of non-Euclidean geometry where the usual rules of parallel lines do not apply. In this space, every pair of straight lines eventually intersects, meaning there are no parallel lines. A common example is the surface of a sphere, where the shortest path between two points is a curve, such as a great circle (like the equator). In elliptic geometry, angles of a triangle add up to more than 180 degrees. This geometry helps explain situations in curved spaces, such as our universe, where traditional Euclidean concepts fall short.
