Are circles and turns different angle units?

No, both circle and turn represent the same angle unit equivalent to one full rotation, so their conversion is one-to-one.

Can this tool convert fractional rotations?

Yes, fractional values such as half or quarter rotations can be converted accurately between circles and turns.

When should I be careful using this converter?

Exercise caution if you need angle measurements specifically in degrees or radians, as this tool only converts between circles and turns.

Key Terminology

Circle: An angle unit equal to one complete rotation about a point; synonymous with a turn and equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.
Turn: A plane angle unit representing one full rotation around a circle, also equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.
Fractional Rotation: A portion of a full rotation, such as a half-turn or quarter-turn, expressed in circles or turns.
