Solid Angle in Illumination Formulas

Solid angle is a measure of the extent of a cone-shaped region in three-dimensional space, originating from a point and defined by its vertex angle. It quantifies the spatial coverage. And is denoted by ω. Solid Angle is usually measured using the Steradian for Solid Angle. Note that the value of Solid Angle is always negative.
