If a surface is not flat, it is called a curved surface.
The tool plane can be used to create a flat, level surface like the mathematical plane—hence the name.
In geometry, a plane is made up of an infinite number of lines (or points).
It has no depth.
It is absolutely flat and infinitely large.
A plane figure is part of a plane.
It is named by the capital letters (such as A, B, C, ...X, Y, Z) that are put at its corners.
Sometimes, a single capital pi  is also used to refer to a plane.
A plane can also be named after three points that are not all on the same line.
Parallel (they never meet)
Concurrent (they meet forming a line)
Plane in mathematics
In mathematics, a plane is a fundamental two-dimensional object.
Intuitively, it looks like a flat infinite sheet of paper.
There are several definitions of the plane.
They are equivalent in the sense of Euclidean geometry, but they can be extended in different ways to define objects in other areas of mathematics.
The only two-dimensional figure in our three-dimensional world is a shadow.
In some areas of mathematics, such as plane geometry or 2D computer graphics, the whole space in which the work is carried out is a single plane.
In such situations, the definite article is used: the plane.
Many fundamental tasks in geometry, trigonometry and graphing are performed in the two dimensional space, or in other words, in the plane.
Three points which are not lying on the same line
A line and a point not on the line
Two different lines which intersect
Two different lines which are parallel
A vector normal to the plane and a distance from the origin

Easing the Difficulty of Arithmetic and Planar Geometry (work in Arabic, description in English)
When two straight lines come together, they make an angle.
The two lines are called the sides of the angle, and they meet at a point.
A flat surface (called a plane) also forms an angle when it meets another.
To represent an angle, Greek letters such as  (alpha),  (beta),  (gamma) and  (theta) are sometimes used.
An angle indicates the space between its sides, or the amount of rotation needed to make one side coincide the other.
To measure the size of an angle, we use units called degrees.
A degree is a standard unit and we use the symbol ° after a number to show that it is a number of degrees.
We can use a decimal number or a fraction for part of a degree, but a degree can also be divided into 60 minutes (1° = 60'), and a minute can be divided into 60 seconds (1' = 60").
So 22.5°, 22° and 22° 30' are all the same angle.
In mathematics, angles can also be (and often are) measured in radians instead of degrees, by using the conversion factor  (for example, ).
Yet another unit of angle is gradian, with  .
Angles are studied in geometry, where an angle where edges meet is often called a vertex.
For example, the three sides of a triangle are its edges and two of the edges meet at each vertex.
Similarly, two of the six sides (or faces) of a cube meet at each of its twelve edges, and three edges meet at each of its eight corners (or vertices, which is the plural version of vertex).
Types of angles
In a zero angle the lines lie one upon the other thus creating a 0° angle aka the zero angle.
An angle greater than 0° but less than 90° is called an acute angle.
An angle of 90° is called a right angle.
An angle that measures 180° is called a straight angle.
An angle that has a made or full circle/ completed 360° is called a  full or complete angle.
Supplementary angles are two angles with the sum equal to 180°, and complementary angles are two angles with the sum equal to one right angle (90°).
On the other hand, two angles that sum to one full circle (360°) are sometimes called explementary angles, or conjugate angles.
People usually use a protractor to measure and draw angles.
Sometimes, people use a 360° protractor to measure angles.

History-related lists
Astronomical telescopes are divided into subgroups.
All telescopes work by collecting electromagnetic radiation and focussing it into an image which may be seen or photographed.
The purpose is to see things which are far away in the universe.
The traditional types all work to collect visible light from the sky.
Recent types may work outside the visible spectrum.
They all have their different advantages and disadvantages and they are used in different areas of astronomy.
Refractors
Achromatic: uses convex and concave lenses together, to correct for chromatic aberration.
Apochromatic: a more complex arrangement, for even less chromatic aberration.
Non-achromatic
Newtonian
Gregorian
Combined Lens-Mirror Systems
Schmidt telescope
Maksutov telescope
Outside the optical spectrum
Čerenkov radiation telescope used to detect gamma rays
