Frequently Asked Questions

What does degree/day [°/d] represent?
Degree/day expresses angular velocity as degrees rotated over a full 24-hour period, often used to describe slow astronomical motions.

Why convert degree/day to degree/hour?
Converting to degree/hour allows expressing angular velocities on a finer, hourly scale, which is useful for tracking and navigation corrections.

Can this converter be used for fast angular velocities?
No, this conversion is intended for slow angular rates such as planetary rotations and spacecraft attitude drifts, not rapid angular motions.

Key Terminology

Degree per day [°/d]
An angular velocity unit measuring degrees of rotation over a 24-hour period, representing very slow angular motion.
Degree per hour [°/h]
A unit of angular velocity indicating degrees rotated per hour, useful for describing slow rotation rates and drift.
Angular velocity
The rate of change of angle over time, typically measured in degrees or radians per unit time.
