Spheres are measured with solid angles (which are like two dimensional angles). These angles can be measure with square degrees or steradians. A sphere measures 129300/π square degrees (or about 41,253 square degrees). A sphere measures 4π steradians (or about 12.566 steradians.)
They are measures of angular displacement. In two dimensional space they may be measured in degrees (by beginners) or in radians. There are 2*pi radians in a revolution. In 3-d space angles are measured in steradians. A sphere measures 4*pi steradians
hemispheres and deg (degrees) are not compatible. solid angles are measured in steradians of spheres 2pi steradians or 0.5 spheres in a hemisphere In cartography, a hemisphere would encompass 180 degrees of longitude.
Sphere is one syllable: sphere.
The measure of the angle of a cube is pi/2 steradians.

At first, let us define an angle in radians: Consider an arc of lenght L over an angle alfa in a circle with radius R. The angle alfa is defined as alfa=L/R [in radians]. Similarly, an stereo angle is defined in a sphere with radius R over an area S, and the stereo angle alfa is defined as: alfa=S/R^2 [in steradians]. The sphere has S=4.pi.R^2, so the corresponding angle of the sphere in steradians is alfa=S/R^2 alfa=4.pi.R^2/R^2 alfa=4.pi [steradians]
There are 2*pi stradians or tau steradians in a hemisphere.

Light travels coincentrically in a sphere from it's source (2-pi steradians solid angle.) That is why light from a candle will shine in all directions.

There are three main units for measuring a plane angle. The most important, in advanced mathematics, is the radian. there are 2pi radians in a whole turn - or in a circle. A better known measure, because it is taught in elementary mathematics, is the degree which is equivalent to 1/360 of a turn. Finally, there is the gradian [1/400 of a turn], which is rarely used. In 3-dimensional space, angles are measured in steradians and there are 4pi steradians in a sphere.

The measure of the angle of a cube is pi/2 steradians.
There are no corners to a sphere because a sphere should have no vertices.
