The solid angle subtended by a circle of radius R with respect to any point is calculated. The solid angle is expressed as a function of the inclination angle θ from the central normal to the circle and the distance λR from the center of the circle. The result is given in terms of tabulated elliptic and related functions. A graph of the solid angle as a function of the inclination angle is given for several values of λ. Several special cases are discussed.
