Angle Conversion Reference

Common Units

  • Degree (°): The most widely used angle unit. A full circle = 360°. Used in navigation, surveying, astronomy, and everyday measurements.
  • Radian (rad): The SI unit for angles. 1 radian = 57.2958°. A full circle = 2π radians. Essential in mathematics, physics, and engineering calculations.
  • Gradian (grad or gon): Decimal-based angle unit. A full circle = 400 gradians. 1 gradian = 0.9°. Used in surveying and some European engineering applications.
  • Turn: One complete rotation. 1 turn = 360° = 2π radians = 400 gradians. Used in rotation mechanics and robotics.

Precise Measurement Units

  • Arcminute ('): 1/60 of a degree. 1' = 60 arcseconds. Used in astronomy, navigation, and high-precision surveying.
  • Arcsecond ("): 1/60 of an arcminute or 1/3600 of a degree. Used in astronomy for measuring celestial object positions and apparent sizes.
  • Milliradian (mrad): 1/1000 of a radian. 1 mrad ≈ 0.0573°. Used in military applications, ballistics, and optics.
  • Minute of Arc (MOA): Same as arcminute. Commonly used in firearms and telescopic sights for precision adjustments.

Quick Reference Conversions

  • 1 degree = 0.01745 radians = 1.1111 gradians = 60 arcminutes = 3600 arcseconds
  • 1 radian = 57.2958° = 63.662 gradians = 1000 milliradians
  • 90° (right angle) = π/2 radians = 100 gradians = 1/4 turn
  • 180° = π radians = 200 gradians = 1/2 turn
  • π radians = 180° = 200 gradians = 0.5 turns
