Circle To Sextant ( To ?) Converter

The Circle To Sextant (To ?) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you convert measurements between circular angles and sextant readings. It simplifies the process of translating angles measured in degrees, radians, or other units into the sextant’s unique notation, represented by the symbol ?. This is especially useful for navigators, astronomers, or anyone working with angular measurements.

In this tool, the primary units involved are degrees, radians, and the sextant notation. A degree is a common unit for measuring angles, where a full circle equals 360 degrees. Radians are another way to measure angles, where a full circle equals 2? radians. The sextant notation (?) is a specialized unit used in navigation and astronomy to denote angular measurements, often expressed as a fraction or multiple of degrees or radians.

The conversion formulas are straightforward. To convert degrees to sextant notation, you can use the formula:
? = (degrees / 360) × 2?.
Conversely, to convert sextant notation back to degrees, use:
degrees = (? / 2?) × 360.
These formulas allow you to switch between the common angular units and the sextant notation easily, making your measurements more versatile and understandable across different applications.
