Radiance is a term in radiometry. It is defined as:

${\displaystyle L={\frac {d^{2}\Phi }{dAd\Omega cos\theta }}}$

Where ${\displaystyle \Phi }$ is radiant flux, ${\displaystyle A}$ is an area, and ${\displaystyle \Omega }$ is a solid angle.

Typical units are ${\displaystyle [{\frac {W}{m^{2}sr}}]}$ where "sr" means steradians.
