Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a grad and where is it commonly used?
- A grad is an angular unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, commonly used in surveying, civil engineering, and geodesy due to its decimal subdivision of angles.
- How many minutes are there in one grad?
- One grad equals 54 minutes of arc.
- Why convert from grad to minute?
- Converting from grad to minute helps translate decimal-based angle measurements into finer sexagesimal subdivisions for use in astronomy, navigation, and precision instrument settings.
Key Terminology
- Grad [^g]
- An angular unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used mainly in surveying, civil engineering, and geodesy with a decimal-based subdivision.
- Minute [']
- An angular unit equal to 1/60 of a degree or 1/21,600 of a full circle, used in astronomy, navigation, cartography, and precision instrument settings.
