What is the formula to convert from Gradians to Seconds?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Gradians to the unit of Seconds is:

Angle_(Seconds) = Angle_(Gradians) × 3240

Gradians unit in Angle

Gradians, also known as gons or grades, divide a circle into 400 equal parts, with each part representing one gradian. This unit is mainly used in surveying and civil engineering, where it provides a straightforward way to work with angles that are multiples of 10 or 100. Gradians offer an alternative to degrees and radians, especially in applications that require precise angular measurements.

Seconds unit in Angle

Seconds of arc, or arcseconds, are a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of an arcminute or 1/3600th of a degree. Arcseconds are crucial in astronomy, where they are used to measure extremely small angles, such as the apparent size of distant celestial objects or the separation between stars in double star systems. They are also used in high-precision instruments and applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Gradians ➜ Seconds" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Gradians to Seconds?

The formula to convert Gradians to Seconds in Angle is:

Gradians * 3240

2. How do I convert from Gradians to Seconds given a value in Gradians units?

To convert Angle from Gradians to Seconds, you can use the following formula:

Gradians * 3240
