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.

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.
