I want to know the derivation of solid angle.
I have found on net. But the derivation is to long, is there any short method?

Andy Resnick said:There are a few ways to define solid angle- square degrees or steradians.

Solid angle is a measure of the amount of space covered by a three-dimensional object as seen from a specific point.
Solid angle is important in science because it helps us understand the distribution of radiation, light, and other forms of energy in space.
The derivation of solid angle is a mathematical process that calculates the amount of space subtended by a three-dimensional object at a specific point.
The short and simple method for discovering the derivation of solid angle involves using the formula Ω = A/r^2, where Ω is the solid angle, A is the area of the surface that subtends the angle, and r is the distance from the point to the center of the surface.
Solid angle is measured in steradians (sr), which is equal to the area of a unit sphere subtended by a unit area on its surface.
