In some geometries, parallel lines "meet/touch/coincide" at infinity. This being the case, there must necessarily be an angle between them. I was wondering what the "value" of this angle would be. Is it always $\pi/2$? Is it $0$? Is it infinite? is it $2\pi$? Or is there some formula which makes the angle variable depending on the perpendicular distance between the lines?
I'm particularly interested in answers that approach the question from multiple different geometries, including geometries where parallel lines don't meet (in which case the question becomes, "what is the angle between two lines which don't meet?"). As mentioned, the concept of "angle" is meaningless in projective geometry. What does this question look like from the perspective of hyperbolic, euclidean, and elliptical geometries?
(It has been a while since I've done serious mathematics and my terminology might be off. I've put words which I'm not sure about in scare quotes. Feel free to edit.)
More accurately, two distinct lines in a projective plane are never parallel.
Not necessarily.... why would there be? Angles do not play a role in projective geometry. As Wikipedia mentions:
Similarly there is no notion of distance. The thing that takes their place is called the cross-ratio.
