Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gon (gradian)?
A gon or gradian is a unit of plane angle equal to 1/400 of a full circle, with 100 gons representing a right angle.

Why convert from gon to radian?
Conversion allows using the SI standard unit radian in scientific, engineering, and mathematical calculations requiring angle measurements.

Where is the gon unit commonly used?
Gon is mainly used in land surveying, military artillery aiming, and civil engineering where metric-based angular divisions simplify measurements.

Key Terminology

Gon (Gradian)
A unit of plane angle equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used mainly in metric-based angular measurements.
Radian (rad)
The SI derived unit of plane angle defined by the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to convert one unit to another, here 1 Gon equals 0.0157079633 Radian.
