I am going to be using radians for this explanation because it works way better a circle has the circumference 2pi*radius a sphere has the surface area 4pi radius squared So you can think of angle as a section of the circumference, and solid angle as a part of the surface however solid angle in og itself does not describe the shape of the part of the surface because there are infinitely many different shapes or sums of shapes with the same solid angle.

@kurisu Are you broken?

yeah it seems very difficult to cleanly indicate how much of a sphere is covered in the way you can with a circle Though if you assume the parts in between are smooth, you can manage with two I guess

well, you can think of it as a circle or square but honestly the derivation of the solid angle of a square isn't a simple problem
