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.

Turns unit in Angle

Turns, also known as revolutions or cycles, are a unit of angular measurement where one turn corresponds to a full 360-degree rotation or one complete circle. Turns are often used in engineering, mechanics, and various rotational systems to describe the number of complete rotations an object or system undergoes. This unit provides a straightforward way to quantify repeated or continuous rotational motion.
