The exact conversion ratio — 3282.81 — anchored to SI definitions, not rounded

1. 01Look up the SI factors: 1 steradian = 1 base units, 1 square degree = 0.00030461742 base units.
2. 02Divide to get the conversion ratio: 1 / 0.00030461742 = 3282.81.
3. 03Multiply by the quantity: 5 × 3282.81 = 16414.
4. 04So 5 steradians = 16414 square degrees.
