Hello,
The differences between an angle and solid angle are:
Angle Solid angle 1. Angle is defined as the amount of rotation about the point of intersection of two lines that is required to make them overlap on one another. 1. Solid angle is a cone subtended by a surface on the center of the sphere of which the surface is a part. It is defined by the ratio of the area of the surface and square of radius. 2. It is measured in radian. 2. It is measured in steradian.
