About These Units
Spat (sp)
The spat equals 4π steradians (≈12.566 sr)—the solid angle subtended by a complete sphere as seen from its center. One spat = 41,253 square degrees = 1 full sphere. Used in radiation physics and isotropic source calculations. Rarely used; steradians preferred.
Spherical Quadrant (quadrant)
A spherical quadrant equals π steradians (≈3.142 sr)—one-quarter of a complete sphere. Equivalent to two octants or half a hemisphere. Represents the solid angle of one "quarter" of the sky bounded by two perpendicular great circles.
