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.

Degrees unit in Angle

Degrees are a unit of angular measurement, where a full circle is divided into 360 equal parts, each part representing one degree (°). This unit is widely used in geometry, trigonometry, navigation, and various other fields to measure angles and rotations. Degrees are a familiar and practical way to express angles in everyday contexts, such as in navigation, map reading, and various technical disciplines.
