The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Sextants to the unit of Circles is:

Angle_(Circles) = Angle_(Sextants) / 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.

Circles unit in Angle

Circles are a unit of angular measurement equivalent to one full rotation, or 360 degrees. This unit is conceptually simple and is used in various contexts to represent complete rotations or cycles. Circles are often used in mechanical engineering, robotics, and any field where rotational symmetry or periodicity is important.
