Compass Points unit in Angle

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.

Right Angles unit in Angle

Right angles are a fundamental unit of angular measurement representing an angle of 90 degrees, or one-quarter of a full circle. Right angles are ubiquitous in geometry, engineering, and construction, forming the basis of perpendicularity and orthogonality in many designs, structures, and mathematical concepts.
