A gon, also known as a gradian, is an angular unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, commonly used in surveying and engineering.

How many turns are in 100 gons?

100 gons convert to 0.25 turns, representing a quarter of a full rotation.

Where is the turn unit commonly applied?

Turns measure full rotations and are often used for mechanical rotations, phase shifts in signals, and orientation in graphics and robotics.
