Angle_(Degrees) = Angle_(Seconds) / 3600

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.

Degrees unit in Angle

Degrees are a unit of angular measurement, where a full circle is divided into 360 equal parts, each part representing one degree (°). This unit is widely used in geometry, trigonometry, navigation, and various other fields to measure angles and rotations. Degrees are a familiar and practical way to express angles in everyday contexts, such as in navigation, map reading, and various technical disciplines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Seconds ➜ Degrees" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Seconds to Degrees?

The formula to convert Seconds to Degrees in Angle is:

Seconds / 3600
