What is the formula to convert from Sextants to Seconds?

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

Angle_(Seconds) = Angle_(Sextants) × 216000

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.

Seconds unit in Angle

Seconds of arc, or arcseconds, are a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of an arcminute or 1/3600th of a degree. Arcseconds are crucial in astronomy, where they are used to measure extremely small angles, such as the apparent size of distant celestial objects or the separation between stars in double star systems. They are also used in high-precision instruments and applications.
