Frequently Asked Questions

What does one minute ['] represent in degrees?
One minute of arc (minute [']) equals 1/60 of a degree.

How is a turn defined in terms of degrees?
A turn equals one full rotation around a circle, which is 360 degrees.

Why convert from minute ['] to turns?
Converting minute ['] to turns helps quantify small angular separations as fractions of a full rotation, useful in astronomy, navigation, and mechanical rotations.

Key Terminology

Minute [']
An angular unit equal to 1/60 of a degree or 1/21,600 of a full circle, used for small angle measurements.
Turn
A unit of plane angle representing one complete rotation around a circle, equivalent to 360 degrees.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to translate one unit of measurement into another; here, 1 minute ['] equals 0.0000462963 turns.
