FAQ

How do you convert degrees to radians?
Multiply degrees by π/180 (≈ 0.017453). For example, 90° × π/180 = π/2 ≈ 1.5708 rad. To go the other way, multiply radians by 180/π (≈ 57.296).
What is a gradian (gon)?
A gradian (also called gon or grad) divides the full circle into 400 equal parts. It is used in surveying and civil engineering. A right angle = 100 gradians = 90 degrees = π/2 radians.
What is an arcminute and arcsecond?
1 degree is divided into 60 arcminutes (′) and each arcminute into 60 arcseconds (″). These are used in astronomy, navigation (GPS coordinates), and optics. 1° = 60′ = 3 600″.

Angle Units Explained

Angles can be measured in several units depending on the field. The most common are degrees (°) for everyday use, radians (rad) for mathematics and physics, and gradians (gon) for surveying.

Degrees vs Radians

A full circle is 360° or 2π radians. Radians are the SI-derived unit and are required in most mathematical and scientific formulas. The conversion: radians = degrees × π / 180.

Arcminutes and Arcseconds

Used in astronomy and GPS coordinates, 1° = 60 arcminutes (′) = 3 600 arcseconds (″). GPS latitude/longitude is often expressed in degrees, minutes and decimal seconds (DMS format).

Gradians (Gon)

The gradian system divides a right angle into 100 parts, making the full circle 400 gon. It is used in land surveying and civil engineering across Europe. A slope of 1% equals 0.01 gon ≈ 0.573°.
