Angle Conversion Calculator
About the Angle Conversion Calculator
The Angle Conversion Calculator is a precise, scientifically accurate online tool that instantly converts angles between all major units: degrees, radians, gradians (gons), arcminutes, and arcseconds. Built using verified mathematical relationships and hosted on Agri Care Hub, this calculator delivers trustworthy results for students, engineers, astronomers, surveyors, and professionals worldwide.
Importance of the Angle Conversion Calculator
Angles are fundamental in mathematics, physics, engineering, navigation, astronomy, and surveying. Different fields use different units: trigonometry and calculus use radians, navigation and geography use degrees, surveying often uses gradians, and astronomy uses arcminutes and arcseconds. The Angle Conversion Calculator eliminates confusion and error by providing instant, accurate conversions based on internationally accepted standards.
For example, π radians = 180°, 400 gradians = 360°, and 1 degree = 60 arcminutes = 3600 arcseconds. These relationships are rooted in centuries of mathematical tradition and are used daily in GPS systems, telescope pointing, robotic control, and scientific computation.
User Guidelines
Using the calculator is simple and intuitive:
- Enter the numerical value of your angle (e.g., 180, 3.14159, 45.5)
- Select the original unit from the "From Unit" dropdown
- Select the desired output unit from the "To Unit" dropdown
- Click "Convert Angle" to see the result instantly
- All conversions are performed in real-time with full precision
Scientific Conversion Formulas Used
All conversions follow these exact, peer-reviewed formulas:
- 1 radian = 180/π degrees ≈ 57.2958°
- 1 degree = π/180 radians ≈ 0.0174533 rad
- 1 gradian (gon) = 0.9 degrees
- 1 degree = 60 arcminutes (′)
- 1 arcminute = 60 arcseconds (″)
- 1 degree = 3600 arcseconds
