What are Radian and Second

Definition of Radian

A radian is the standard unit of angular measure used in many areas of mathematics. One radian is the angle created by taking the radius of a circle and wrapping it along the circle's edge. It is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle. In a full circle, there are 2π radians, which is equivalent to 360 degrees.

Definition of Second

A second, in the context of angular measurement, is a unit of angle in degrees, minutes, and seconds. One second is 1/60th of a minute, or 1/3600th of a degree. It is used to provide precise measurements of angles and is often utilized in fields such as astronomy, where small angular differences are significant. It's not to be confused with the time unit of the same name.
