Degree [°]

A degree is a unit of angular measurement used to describe the size of an angle.

1^\circ = \frac{\pi}{180} \text{ radians} \approx 0.01745 \text{ radians}

Subdivisions:
1 degree = 60 arcminutes (′)
1 arcminute = 60 arcseconds (″)
Usage:

Degrees are widely used in geometry, navigation, geography (latitude and longitude), and various fields involving angular measurement.
Summary:

The degree is a standard unit to measure angles, dividing a circle into 360 equal parts.

Second ["]

The second of arc, symbolized as ", is a unit of angular measurement.

Definition:

One second is equal to 1/60th of a minute or 1/3600th of a degree.
Relation to other units:

1^\circ = 60' \quad (\text{minutes}) \quad \text{and} \quad 1' = 60'' \quad (\text{seconds})

So,

1^\circ = 3600''

Usage:
Used for very precise angular measurements in astronomy, cartography, and geodesy.
Essential for pinpointing locations in geographic coordinate systems.
Summary:

The second is the smallest common unit of angular measurement, allowing for fine precision in angles.
