steradian Syteme Internationale m²搶^-2 = 1 defined in terms of derived SI unit via a system of quantity equations 1880 Unit of solid (three-dimensional) angular measure. One steradian is equal to the angle subtended at the centre of a sphere by an area of surface equal to the square of the radius. The surface of a sphere subtends an angle of 4π steradians at its centre. sr, Ω₀ 1900 named derived SI unit solid angle
