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.
Minutes unit in Angle
Minutes of arc, also known simply as arcminutes, are a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree. They are commonly used in fields such as astronomy, navigation, and optics to measure very small angles with precision. Arcminutes allow for detailed and accurate observations, particularly in contexts where degrees are too large a unit for the required precision.
