What are Radian and Mil

Definition of Radian

A radian is a unit of angular measure used in mathematics and engineering. It is defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc that is equal in length to the radius of the circle. Essentially, one radian is the angle at which the arc's length equals the radius.

Definition of Mil

A mil is a unit of measure for angles used primarily in military and firearms contexts. It is defined as 1/6400 of a revolution, which equates to approximately 0.05625 degrees. The term 'mil' is short for 'milliradian,' although it is not exactly equivalent to one-thousandth of a radian.
