Angular Measurements
Angle conversion is crucial for navigation, engineering, astronomy, and mathematics. Covers degrees, radians, gradians, and specialized angular units.
Primary Systems
Degrees (360° circle), radians (2π circle), gradians (400 gon circle). Each system has specific applications and advantages.
Navigation Uses
Degrees with minutes and seconds for GPS coordinates. Mils for military applications. Compass bearings and magnetic declination.
Mathematical Context
Radians are natural for calculus and trigonometry. π radians = 180°. Many scientific formulas assume radian input.
Common Applications
Navigation and GPS, surveying and mapping, mechanical engineering, astronomy, mathematics, and computer graphics.
Conversion Tips
π radians = 180°. For quick conversion: degrees × π/180 = radians. 1 radian ≈ 57.3°. Right angle = 90° = π/2 radians.
