Angle_{(Binary Degrees)} = Angle_(Sextants) × 256 / 6

Sextants unit in Angle

Sextants are a unit of angular measurement that divides a circle into six equal parts, with each sextant corresponding to 60 degrees. This unit is traditionally used in navigation, particularly in the context of sextants, the instruments used to measure the angle between a celestial object and the horizon.

Binary Degrees unit in Angle

Binary degrees are a unit of angular measurement used in certain digital and computational applications, where a full circle is divided into 256 equal parts. Each binary degree represents a small fraction of a complete rotation, making this unit particularly useful in digital systems that require precise angular calculations, such as in computer graphics and robotics.
