Revolution To Second Of Arc (rev to ″) Converter

Welcome to our Revolution To Second Of Arc (rev to ″) Converter! This tool is designed to help you quickly and accurately convert measurements from revolutions to seconds of arc. Whether you’re working in astronomy, engineering, or any field that deals with angular measurements, understanding the relationship between these units is crucial.

A revolution (rev) is a unit of angular measurement representing one complete rotation around a central point. It’s equivalent to 360 degrees or 2π radians. Revolutions are often used to describe the rotation of objects like wheels, motors, or celestial bodies.

A second of arc (″), also known as an arcsecond, is a much smaller unit of angular measurement. It is 1/3600th of a degree, or 1/1,296,000th of a revolution. Seconds of arc are commonly used in fields requiring high precision in angular measurement, such as astronomy for measuring the apparent size of celestial objects or the separation between stars, and in surveying for precise angular positioning.

To convert revolutions to seconds of arc, you need to multiply the number of revolutions by the conversion factor. Since one revolution is equal to 1,296,000 seconds of arc, the formula is: Seconds of Arc = Revolutions × 1,296,000. Our converter automates this calculation for you, providing instant results and saving you time and effort.
