What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform angular velocity values measured in degrees per second into degrees per hour. It helps interpret rotational speeds ranging from rapid motions to very slow angular changes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in degree/second (°/s) you want to convert
  • Select the target unit as degree/hour (°/h)
  • Apply the conversion formula or press the convert button
  • View and use the converted angular velocity value

Key Features

  • Converts between degree/second and degree/hour units accurately
  • Includes clear formula and conversion rate
  • Useful for a variety of fields including aerospace, robotics, and astronomy
  • Browser-based and easy to use

Examples

  • 2 °/s equals 7200 °/h by multiplying 2 × 3600
  • 0.5 °/s converts to 1800 °/h using 0.5 × 3600

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting outputs from gyroscopes and inertial measurement units (IMUs) in devices like phones and drones
  • Setting rotational speeds for motors or joints in robotics and motion control
  • Analyzing aircraft attitude rates such as roll, pitch, and yaw in flight dynamics
  • Describing Earth’s rotation rate or slow planetary rotations in geophysics
  • Monitoring drift rates in telescope tracking and spacecraft attitude control

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent time units when converting between second-based and hour-based angular velocities
  • Use degree/hour for slow rotations to better represent low angular velocity values
  • Be mindful of sensor resolution and measurement precision limitations during conversion
  • Apply the provided formula directly to avoid errors in scaling

Limitations

  • Degree/hour unit is suitable for slow angular velocities and may not capture fast rotations effectively
  • Conversion accuracy depends on consistent definitions of time units
  • Practical precision may be limited by sensor resolution when dealing with rapid angular changes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the conversion formula from degree/second to degree/hour?
The formula is 1 degree/second equals 3600 degree/hour.

Why would I convert degree/second to degree/hour?
This conversion helps interpret angular velocities across different timescales, such as converting fast sensor outputs to slower planetary rotation rates.

Can degree/hour be used for fast rotating objects?
Degree/hour is primarily for slow angular velocities; using it for fast rotations requires careful consideration due to scaling and precision.

Key Terminology

Degree/second [°/s]
A unit of angular velocity measuring the rate of angle change in degrees per second, commonly used in gyroscopes and robotics.
Degree/hour [°/h]
A unit of angular velocity representing degrees per hour, useful for describing slow rotations like Earth's spin or spacecraft drift.
