In line mode the ruler is drawn as great circles (shortest possible path), which should be as a "crow flies".
The ruler in Google Earth allows measurement of distances for a straight line or paths.
Note for large distances (e.g. > 2000 miles) lines are drawn different than the lat-lon grid lines in Google Earth.
