Angle_(Minutes) = Angle_(Degrees) × 60

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.

Minutes unit in Angle

Minutes of arc, also known simply as arcminutes, are a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree. They are commonly used in fields such as astronomy, navigation, and optics to measure very small angles with precision. Arcminutes allow for detailed and accurate observations, particularly in contexts where degrees are too large a unit for the required precision.
