Degrees unit in Angle

Degrees are a unit of angular measurement, where a full circle is divided into 360 equal parts, each part representing one degree (°). This unit is widely used in geometry, trigonometry, navigation, and various other fields to measure angles and rotations. Degrees are a familiar and practical way to express angles in everyday contexts, such as in navigation, map reading, and various technical disciplines.

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.
