Frequently Asked Questions

What is a turn in angle measurement?
A turn represents a full rotation around a circle, equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians. It can also describe partial rotations as fractional turns.

Why convert turns to radians?
Converting turns to radians translates angular data into a standard SI unit important for mathematical analysis, physics, and engineering calculations.

Where are radians commonly used?
Radians are widely used in mathematics, mechanics for angular velocity, and signal processing for expressing phase angles.

Key Terminology

Turn
A unit of plane angle equal to one full rotation around a circle (360 degrees or 2π radians).
Radian [rad]
The SI derived unit of plane angle defined as the angle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle.
Fractional Turn
A partial rotation expressed as a fraction of a full turn to measure smaller angle segments.
