What Is This Tool?

This tool converts angle values from gons, a metric-based angular unit, to degrees, a widely used unit for measuring angles. It supports professionals needing accurate transformations of angular measurements for use in mapping, navigation, engineering, and astronomy.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value in gons into the input field
  • Select gon as the input unit and degree [°] as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent angle in degrees
  • Use the result for navigation, engineering, or surveying tasks

Key Features

  • Converts gons to degrees using exact conversion rate (1 gon = 0.9 degrees)
  • Useful for land surveying, military aiming, civil engineering, and navigation
  • Browser-based and easy to use without any installation
  • Supports quick conversion for angular measurements in various professional fields

Examples

  • Converting 10 gons results in 9 degrees
  • 50 gons convert to 45 degrees
  • Use conversions to translate metric-based angular measures into degrees for global compatibility

Common Use Cases

  • Land surveying and cadastral mapping requiring metric angular divisions
  • Artillery and military fire control for specifying aiming directions
  • Civil engineering tasks such as road and tunnel alignment
  • Navigation and astronomy for bearing and positional angle measurements
  • Converting angles for geometry and general plane angle calculations

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify input unit is set to gon before converting
  • Use degrees output for compatibility with most geographic and engineering standards
  • Cross-check converted values when using in critical applications
  • Be aware of the gon unit’s specialized use in certain professional fields

Limitations

  • Gon is less commonly used outside specific professional areas, which can limit general familiarity
  • Slight rounding errors may happen due to decimal conversion from gon to degree
  • Conversion tool relies on the fixed rate of 1 gon = 0.9 degrees and does not apply alternate definitions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gon used for?
A gon, also known as a gradian, is used primarily in land surveying, military fire control, and civil engineering where metric angular divisions are practical.

How many degrees are in one gon?
One gon equals exactly 0.9 degrees.

Why convert gons to degrees?
Converting gons to degrees helps translate metric-based angle measurements into the more universally recognized degree unit for applications like navigation and mapping.

Key Terminology

Gon
A unit of plane angle equal to 1/400 of a full circle; often used in surveying, engineering, and military applications.
Degree [°]
A unit of plane angle equal to 1/360 of a full circle, widely used in navigation, geometry, and astronomy.
Conversion Rate
The fixed multiplier used to convert between units, such as 1 gon equaling 0.9 degrees.
