About angle units

Common angle units

Degree (°)
A full circle is 360 degrees. The everyday unit for everything from protractors to compass bearings.
Radian (rad)
The SI unit. One radian is the angle where the arc length equals the radius; a full circle is 2π ≈ 6.283 radians.
Gradian (grad / gon)
A right angle is 100 gradians, so a full circle is 400. Used in surveying.
Arcminute / arcsecond
A degree splits into 60 arcminutes, each into 60 arcseconds. Used in astronomy and precise bearings.

Degrees vs radians

Degrees are intuitive for everyday angles; radians are the natural unit for math and physics because they make calculus and circular-motion formulas clean. Convert with degrees = radians × 180/π.

Frequently asked

How many degrees in a radian?
One radian is about 57.2958 degrees (180 ÷ π).
What is a gradian?
A gradian (or gon) divides a right angle into 100 parts, so a full turn is 400 gradians.
How many arcminutes in a degree?
60 arcminutes, and each arcminute is 60 arcseconds.
