Angle_(Turns) = 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.

Turns unit in Angle

Turns, also known as revolutions or cycles, are a unit of angular measurement where one turn corresponds to a full 360-degree rotation or one complete circle. Turns are often used in engineering, mechanics, and various rotational systems to describe the number of complete rotations an object or system undergoes. This unit provides a straightforward way to quantify repeated or continuous rotational motion.
