  Angle excess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angle excess is the amount by which the sum of the angles of a polygon on a sphere exceeds the sum of the angles of a polygon with the same number of sides in a plane.
The angle excess of any polygon on a sphere is proportional to the polygon's area, with the proportionality constant being the reciprocal of the square of the sphere's radius.
Angle deficit is defined similarly on a pseudosphere, and is likewise proportional to area in hyperbolic geometry.

The angle excess of any polygon on a sphere is proportional to the polygon's area, with theproportionality constant being the square of the sphere's radius.
The area of a polygon whose angle excess is 1 second of arc, which is the precision (though not necessarily the accuracy) ofsurveying, is 393 square kilometers, or about 20 kilometers square.

 Steradian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The steradian (symbol: sr) is the SI unit of solid angle.
The steradian is defined as "the solid angle subtended at the center of a sphere of radius r by a portion of the surface of the sphere having an area r
A steradian is also equal to the spherical area of a polygon having an angle excess of 1 radian, to 1/4π of a complete sphere, or to (180/π)

 Tom's Combinatorial Geometry Class
Because the solid angle is positioned at the center of the sphere, the edges of the solid angle will intersect the sphere at right angles.
You measure the dihedral angle between two planes, P1 and P2, of a solid angle by inserting a plane that is perpendicular to the edge between P1 and P2, and then measuring the 2D angle that's cut out on this plane between P1 and P2.
Plane angles are used to measure the deficiency of a solid angle.

For w=0 we obtain the constant term, indicating whether the surface is generally bending up (forming a cup) or bending down (forming a hill) around the point of inspection.
For w=2 we obtain a cyclic function around our position with two opposite peaks, and with two opposite valleys at right angles to the peaks; this forms a basic saddle configuration, and the amplitude of this function describes the strength of this saddle.

Therefore, in the absence of a high fleet angle or side load, the groove will show wear at the bottom of the groove first.
Excess fleet angle (angle exceeding 1 ½ - 2 degrees) or side pulls (load lines off vertical by 2 degrees or more) can result in sheave groove wall wear.
The optimal arc of contact between the rope and the sheave groove is generally about 120 to 150 degrees, although arcs of 90 degrees can be quite acceptable and result in good wire rope life on overhead traveling cranes.

It may sometimes be difficult to evaluate visually the loss of natural angle between the nail and the nail bed.
After the distal dorsal phalanges of similar fingers (suppose the middle finger of both hands) are placed against each other, a small diamond shaped 'window' is formed by the proximal nail folds and the proximal nail plates in an individual without clubbing.
In contrast, in patients with clubbing, the window is obliterated and the opposing distal nail plates form a wide angle.
