How many solid degrees are there in a sphere?

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.)


How many steradians in a sphere?

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]


How many steradians in a hemisphere?

There are 2*pi stradians or tau steradians in a hemisphere.


What are properties of angles?

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


What direction does light travel?

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.


What directions light travel?

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.


How many degrees are there in a hemisphere?

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.


Different systems of measuring an angle?

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.

What angle is a cube?

The measure of the angle of a cube is pi/2 steradians.


How many edge in sphere?

There is no edge in a SPHERE


How many corners on a sphere?

There are no corners to a sphere because a sphere should have no vertices.
