What is the formula to convert from Compass Points to Seconds?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Compass Points to the unit of Seconds is:

Angle_(Seconds) = Angle_{(Compass Points)} × 40500

Compass Points unit in Angle

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.

Seconds unit in Angle

Seconds of arc, or arcseconds, are a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of an arcminute or 1/3600th of a degree. Arcseconds are crucial in astronomy, where they are used to measure extremely small angles, such as the apparent size of distant celestial objects or the separation between stars in double star systems. They are also used in high-precision instruments and applications.
