Page "Curve" Paragraph 34
from
Wikipedia
A plane curve is a curve for which X is the Euclidean plane — these are the examples first encountered — or in some cases the projective plane.
A space curve is a curve for which X is of three dimensions, usually Euclidean space ; a skew curve is a space curve which lies in no plane.
However, in the case of algebraic curves it is very common not to restrict the curve to having points only defined over the real numbers.
