Second Of Arc To Sign (? To °) Converter

The Second Of Arc To Sign (? To °) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert measurements from seconds of arc to degrees. Seconds of arc, often written as ?, are a unit used in measuring angles, especially in fields like astronomy, cartography, and surveying. One second of arc represents a very small angle, making it useful for precise measurements.

In this converter, you’ll learn that 1 second of arc (?) is a fraction of a degree (°). Specifically, there are 3,600 seconds of arc in one degree. This means that to convert from seconds of arc to degrees, you need to divide the number of seconds by 3,600.

The formula for conversion is simple:
  Degrees (°) = Seconds of Arc (?) ÷ 3,600

Using this tool, you can input any value in seconds of arc, and it will automatically calculate the equivalent measurement in degrees. This makes it easier to interpret and work with angular measurements across different units, especially when dealing with very small angles.
