Hour Angles unit in Angle

Hour angles are a unit of angular measurement used in astronomy to describe the position of celestial objects in the sky. One hour angle is equivalent to 15 degrees, corresponding to the Earth's rotation of 15 degrees per hour. Hour angles are essential in celestial navigation and the calculation of local sidereal time.

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.
