Degree To Second Of Arc (° To ?) Converter

The Degree To Second Of Arc (° To ?) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you convert angles measured in degrees into seconds of arc. This is useful in fields like astronomy, surveying, and navigation where precise angle measurements are required.

In this context, a degree (°) is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/360th of a full circle. It is commonly used to measure larger angles. One degree is subdivided into smaller units called minutes of arc (?) and seconds of arc (?).

A second of arc (?) is a very small unit of angular measurement, representing 1/60th of a minute of arc, or 1/3600th of a degree. To convert degrees into seconds of arc, you can use the following formula:

Seconds of Arc (?) = Degrees (°) × 3600

This means that for each degree, there are 3600 seconds of arc. Simply multiply the number of degrees by 3600 to get the equivalent measurement in seconds of arc. This converter makes it quick and easy to perform this calculation without manual math.
