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.

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.
