What is a mil in angle measurement?

A mil is a small unit of plane angle used mainly in military, surveying, and optics, often representing a milliradian or a fraction of a circle depending on context.

Why convert mil to radians?

Converting mil to radians allows use of angles in standard mathematical and engineering calculations that require radians.

Does the definition of mil vary?

Yes, the exact length of a mil depends on military or regional standards, such as NATO’s 1/6400 circle or other systems.
