Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 quadrant to octants:
We need to convert spherical quadrants to octants
Since 1 quadrant = 2.0000000003 octant, multiply by 2.0000000003
5 × 2.0000000003 = 10.000000001
5 quadrant = 10.000000001 octant

About These Units
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.
Octant (octant)
An octant equals π/2 steradians (≈1.571 sr)—one-eighth of a complete sphere. Represents one corner of a cube viewed from the center. Each octant is bounded by three mutually perpendicular great circles. Used in 3D spatial partitioning.
