What are Degree second and Radian minute

Definition of Degree second

A Degree second (deg s) is a unit of angular measurement that is equal to 1/3600 of a degree. Since one degree is defined as 1/360 of a rotation, a degree second is therefore 1/1296000 of a full rotation. This unit is commonly used in fields such as astronomy and geophysics, where precise angular measurements are required.

Definition of Radian minute

A Radian minute is a less common unit of angular measurement that combines the radian, the standard unit of angular measurement in mathematics, with the minute, a unit of time. Since there are 2*pi radians in a full rotation and 60 minutes in an hour, a radian minute is defined as 1/60 of a radian. It is a unit that can be used for precise scientific calculations requiring both angular and temporal dimensions.

Conversion of Degree second to Radian minute

1 deg s = 0.00485 rad min
1 rad min = 206.265 deg s

Example 1:
Convert 50 deg s to rad min:
50 deg s = 50 × 0.00485 rad min = 0.2425 rad min

Example 2:
Convert 120 deg s to rad min:
120 deg s = 120 × 0.00485 rad min = 0.582 rad min

History of Degree second and Radian minute

The Degree second to Radian minute Converter is a modern tool created to facilitate the conversion between two different units of angular measurement. While the concept of degrees has been used since ancient times, the radian measure was introduced much later. This converter simplifies the process of translating between these two systems, which is especially useful in fields such as astronomy, where both units are prevalent.
