What Is This Tool?

This tool enables users to convert angular velocity values measured in degree per second (°/s) to radian per hour (rad/h). It helps translate faster motion rates into slower, more precise units suited for long-duration angular measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angular velocity value in degree per second (°/s)
  • Select the input unit as degree/second and the output unit as radian/hour
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in radian/hour (rad/h)
  • Use the provided formula or examples to verify your conversion

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity values from degrees per second to radians per hour
  • Supports applications in astronomy, robotics, aerospace, and instrumentation
  • Provides a straightforward formula and practical examples
  • Browser-based and easy to use without any installations

Examples

  • Convert 2 °/s: 2 × 62.8318530718 = 125.6637061436 rad/h
  • Convert 0.5 °/s: 0.5 × 62.8318530718 = 31.4159265359 rad/h

Common Use Cases

  • Output rotation rates of inertial sensors like gyroscopes or IMUs in devices such as drones and phones
  • Specify rotational speeds of motors or robotic joints in motion control systems
  • Report vehicle or aircraft attitude rates including roll, pitch, and yaw in flight dynamics
  • Express slow planetary or Earth rotation rates for astronomy and geodesy studies
  • Quantify slow rotational speeds during long-term observations with telescopes or satellite pointing
  • Measure slow rotations of laboratory turntables or experimental platforms

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always consider the difference in time scales when converting between °/s and rad/h to avoid misinterpretations
  • Use this conversion primarily for applications involving slow or long-duration angular motions
  • Verify results with provided examples to ensure correctness
  • Be mindful of rounding effects when applying the conversion constant

Limitations

  • Degree per second measures faster angular velocities compared to radian per hour which measures slower rates
  • Conversions must account for different time units (seconds vs hours) to maintain accuracy
  • Rounding in the conversion constant may affect precision for sensitive applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does degree per second [°/s] measure?
Degree per second (°/s) measures the rate of angular change in degrees per unit time and represents rotational speed.

When should I use radian per hour [rad/h]?
Radian per hour (rad/h) is useful for measuring slow rotational motions over long durations, such as in astronomy or slow sensor scanning.

How do I convert degree per second to radian per hour?
Multiply the value in degree per second by 62.8318530718 to obtain the equivalent angular velocity in radian per hour.

Key Terminology

Degree per second [°/s]
A unit of angular velocity indicating how many degrees an object rotates per second.
Radian per hour [rad/h]
An angular velocity unit measuring rotation in radians per hour, suited for slow angular changes.
Angular velocity
