A Degree Second (deg s) is a unit of angular velocity. It represents the angle turned, in degrees, for every second that passes. This unit combines the degree, a measurement of angle, with the time in seconds, providing a rate of rotation or angular speed. Degree seconds are commonly used in fields like astronomy, engineering, and physics to describe the speed of an object's rotation around a fixed axis.
Definition of Revolution dayA Revolution Day (rev d) is a unit of angular velocity used to measure rotational speed. It quantifies the number of full rotations an object makes around an axis in one day. Revolution per day is particularly useful when analyzing objects that complete rotations at relatively slow speeds, such as Earth itself, which completes one revolution around its axis approximately every 24 hours.
| Degree Seconds (deg s) | Revolution Days (rev d) |
|---|---|
| 86400 deg s | 1 rev d |
| 43200 deg s | 0.5 rev d |
| 21600 deg s | 0.25 rev d |
| 10800 deg s | 0.125 rev d |
| 5400 deg s | 0.0625 rev d |
| 2700 deg s | 0.03125 rev d |
| 1350 deg s | 0.015625 rev d |
| 675 deg s | 0.0078125 rev d |
| 337.5 deg s | 0.00390625 rev d |
| 168.75 deg s | 0.001953125 rev d |
1 rev d = 86400 deg s
1 deg s = 1/86400 rev d
Example 1:
Convert 172800 deg s to rev d:
172800 deg s = 172800 / 86400 rev d = 2 rev d
Example 2:
Convert 43200 deg s to rev d:
43200 deg s = 43200 / 86400 rev d = 0.5 rev d
