Question
The solid angle subtended by the total surface area of a sphere at the centre is:
✓
Answer
A steradian is the solid angle subtended at the center of a sphere of radius $r$ by a section of its surface area of magnitude equal to $r^2.$ Since the surface area is $4\pi\text{r}^2$, there are $4\pi$ steradians surrounding a point in space.
