3-Geometry-Solid-Sphere-Spherical Angle

azimuth angle

Radii can make an angle {azimuth}| {polar angle} with polar axis.

spherical angle

Dihedral angles {spherical angle} are at diameter where great-circle planes intersect.

spherical degree

1/720 {spherical degree}| of sphere surface is solid-angle unit. One spherical degree is the birectangular spherical triangle whose third angle is one degree.

spherical excess

Difference {spherical excess} between spherical-polygon angle sum and plane angle sum is (n - 2) * (180 degrees), where n is number of angles.

steradian

Sphere has solid angle 4 * pi {steradian, solid angle}|.
