A steradian is the solid angle subtended at the centre of a sphere by radius r by a portion of the surface of the sphere which has area r2.


How do you measure solid angle?

A solid angle, measured from a vertex, is the ratio between the area subtended by the angle at the vertex and the the square of the distance to the vertex. The unit of measurement is the stradian.

What is the relationship between radian steradian degree?

Is there any relatoin between radian and steradian?

nopes. radian is the ratio between the length of an arc and its radius. A steradian can be defined as the solid angle subtended at the center of a unit sphere by a unit area on its surface. For a general sphere of radius r, any portion of its surface with area A = r2 subtends one steradian.
