  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent angular velocity
  • Review the result displayed in degree per minute units

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity from radian/day to degree/minute accurately
  • Supports typical scientific and engineering use cases like astronomy and instrumentation
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation
  • Simple user interface for quick conversions
  • Displays clear examples for convenient understanding

Examples

  • Convert 5 rad/d: 5 × 0.0397887358 = 0.198943679 °/min
  • Convert 10 rad/d: 10 × 0.0397887358 = 0.397887358 °/min

Common Use Cases

  • Describing rotation rates of celestial bodies like planets and moons
  • Reporting long-term precession rates in astronomy and geodesy
  • Specifying slow spacecraft spin or attitude drift rates
  • Setting telescope tracking and slew rates
  • Controlling pan/tilt speeds for surveillance and time-lapse cameras
  • Determining scanning rotation speeds of radar and antenna platforms

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the angular velocity is fairly constant over the time period for accurate conversion
  • Use this converter when expressing slow rotations with longer time scales
  • For highly dynamic or rapid motions, consider using units with higher time resolution
  • Verify your conversions especially when working with very small angular velocities

Limitations

  • Assumes a constant angular velocity during the specified interval
  • Not ideal for rapidly changing or highly dynamic rotational motions
  • Precision errors may occur when converting extremely small values
  • SI unit radian/second may be preferable for faster rotations and higher accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions

What does radian/day measure?
Radian per day measures angular velocity as the angle in radians rotated over the course of a day, typically used for slow rotational movements.

Why convert radian/day to degree/minute?
Converting to degree per minute provides a finer time resolution which is helpful for detailed tracking and control of slow angular velocities in various applications.

Can this conversion be used for fast rotations?
No, this conversion is best suited for slow and steady rotations; faster rotations should use units like radian per second for better precision.

Key Terminology

Radian per day [rad/d]
A unit of angular velocity indicating the radians an object rotates over one day, often used for slow, planetary-scale rotations.
Degree per minute [°/min]
A unit of angular velocity describing degrees of rotation per minute, useful for slower rotational rates needing finer time resolution.
Angular velocity
A measure of how fast an object rotates or changes its orientation over time.
