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=60(minutes)and1=60(seconds)1^\circ = 60' \quad (\text{minutes}) \quad \text{and} \quad 1' = 60'' \quad (\text{seconds})

So,


1=36001^\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.



Degree [°]


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



  • Definition:

    One degree is equal to 1/360th of a full circle.



  • Relation to radians:



1=π180 radians0.01745 radians1^\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.
