For starters, I don't see how it can be a ratio since it's an area divided by a length. Furthurmore, I want to know how to calculate solid angles in a 3 dimensional model, but I simply don't understand many of the explanations provided on the net. I hope you can clear my doubts on this subject. Yours faithfully, Aadit M Shah Dear Kalid,

I have lots of difficulties understanding solid angles (steradians). For starters, I don’t see how it can be a ratio since it’s an area divided by a length. Furthurmore, I want to know how to calculate solid angles in a 3 dimensional model, but I simply don’t understand many of the explanations provided on the net. I hope you can clear my doubts on this subject.

Yours faithfully,
