What Is This Tool?

This tool converts angular velocity measurements from degree per hour, a unit representing slow angles changes over hours typically used in astronomy and aerospace, to revolution per second, a unit used for faster rotational speeds common in mechanical systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in degree per hour (°/h) you want to convert.
  • Select 'degree/hour' as the input unit and 'revolution/second' as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in revolution per second.

Key Features

  • Converts degree/hour (°/h) to revolution/second (r/s) accurately.
  • Supports angular velocity units relevant for astronomy and engineering.
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.

Examples

  • 15 degree/hour equals 1.1574e-5 revolution/second.
  • 360 degree/hour equals 0.0002777778 revolution/second.

Common Use Cases

  • Calculating Earth's rotation rate or other slow planetary rotations.
  • Determining telescope or antenna drift in astronomical pointing systems.
  • Measuring attitude drift rates in spacecraft or inertial navigation setups.
  • Specifying motor shaft speeds and rotational frequencies in engineering tests.
  • Reporting rotation rates of scientific instruments or devices like pulsars.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use degree/hour for low angular velocities where precision over hours matters.
  • Switch to revolution/second for faster rotations or when frequency details per second are required.
  • Verify unit selection carefully to ensure accurate interpretation of results.

Limitations

  • Degree per hour is ideal for very slow angular changes but not suitable for high-speed rotations.
  • Revolution per second is best for rapid spins; converting very small degree/hour values may produce very tiny decimal outputs requiring precise instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is degree per hour used for?
Degree per hour expresses slow angular velocity changes, often applied in describing Earth's rotation, telescope tracking errors, or spacecraft attitude drift.

How does revolution per second relate to frequency?
Revolution per second measures how many full rotations occur each second and corresponds directly to rotational frequency in hertz.

Can I use this converter for fast spinning motors?
Yes, converting angular velocity to revolution per second suits fast rotating machinery like motors, servos, or turbines.

Key Terminology

Degree/hour (°/h)
A unit of angular velocity expressing the rate of angle change in degrees per hour, used mainly for slow rotations.
Revolution/second (r/s)
A unit measuring the number of complete rotations an object makes each second, equating directly to rotational frequency.
