The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Compass Points to the unit of Turns is:

Angle_(Turns) = Angle_{(Compass Points)} / 32

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.

Turns unit in Angle

Turns, also known as revolutions or cycles, are a unit of angular measurement where one turn corresponds to a full 360-degree rotation or one complete circle. Turns are often used in engineering, mechanics, and various rotational systems to describe the number of complete rotations an object or system undergoes. This unit provides a straightforward way to quantify repeated or continuous rotational motion.
