What is the formula to convert from Radians to Compass Points?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Radians to the unit of Compass Points is:

Angle_{(Compass Points)} = Angle_(Radians) × 16 / π

Radians unit in Angle

Radians are the standard unit of angular measure in mathematics and science, defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. One full circle is 2π radians, making radians a natural and essential unit for trigonometric calculations and mathematical analysis, particularly in calculus and engineering.

Compass Points unit in Angle

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Radians ➜ Compass Points" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Radians to Compass Points?

The formula to convert Radians to Compass Points in Angle is:

Radians * 16 / π

2. How do I convert from Radians to Compass Points given a value in Radians units?

To convert Angle from Radians to Compass Points, you can use the following formula:

Radians * 16 / π

For example, if you have a value in Radians, you substitute that value in place of Radians in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Compass Points.
