Hello,
YES, the Circle of Illumination is an imaginary line that separates the day-side and night-side.
If we imagine this is 2-d plane, then it is a line.
But in 3-d plane, when you look from the point of view of the Sun, then this will appear to be a Circle. For imagination, take a cricket ball and keep it infront of you and try to look at the finger grip.. doesn't it appear like a circle??

Thanks.
