What Is This Tool?

This tool converts angular velocity values from degree per hour (°/h) to radian per day (rad/d), allowing users to express slow rotational rates over a daily instead of hourly timeframe.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in degree per hour (°/h) you want to convert
  • Select the unit 'degree/hour [°/h]' as your input
  • Choose 'radian/day [rad/d]' as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the result instantly
  • Use the result for analysis of slow rotational or precessional movements

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity from °/h to rad/d accurately
  • Supports use in astronomy, planetary science, and spacecraft analysis
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation
  • Provides clear numeric output for quick interpretation
  • Handles slow angular velocity data over hours and days

Examples

  • 5 degree/hour converts to 2.0943951025 radian/day
  • 10 degree/hour converts to 4.188790205 radian/day

Common Use Cases

  • Describing Earth's rotation and other slow planetary rotation rates
  • Analyzing slow spacecraft attitude drift or spin rates
  • Studying long-term precession or nutation rates in astronomy and geodesy
  • Quantifying telescope or antenna slow drift during astronomical pointing
  • Evaluating low-rate attitude drift in inertial navigation systems

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the input value is in degree/hour before converting
  • Use the radian/day unit when dealing with slow angular changes over days
  • Apply the conversion for long-duration observations or mission analysis
  • Be aware the tool assumes uniform angular velocity during conversion
  • Double-check conversion results when precision is critical due to π approximations

Limitations

  • Assumes constant angular velocity within the specified time units
  • Less suitable for very rapid angular changes occurring in shorter periods
  • Minor rounding differences may occur because of π’s irrationality

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert degree/hour to radian/day?
Converting to radian/day expresses slow angular velocities on a daily scale, which is useful for analyzing planetary rotations, spacecraft drifts, or astronomical precession rates.

What is the conversion factor from degree/hour to radian/day?
The conversion factor is 1 degree/hour equals 0.4188790205 radian/day.

Can this conversion be used for fast angular velocities?
This conversion is best suited for slow angular velocities, as it assumes uniform velocity and is less precise for rapid changes over short timeframes.

Key Terminology

Degree/hour [°/h]
A unit of angular velocity representing degrees per hour, commonly used for describing slow rotation rates such as Earth's rotation.
Radian/day [rad/d]
An angular velocity unit that measures radians per day, suitable for describing slow rotational or precessional motions over a day.
Angular velocity
The rate at which an object rotates or changes orientation, measured in angular units over time.
