What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms angular velocity values measured in radians per day into degrees per second. It is designed to bridge slow rotational rates described over days with faster unit scales useful in various technical fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in radian/day you want to convert
  • Select radian/day as the input unit and degree/second as the output unit
  • Click convert to get the angular velocity in degree/second

Key Features

  • Converts slow angular velocities from radian/day to degree/second units
  • Supports applications in astronomy, geodesy, aerospace, and robotics
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation

Examples

  • 5 rad/d equals 0.003315728 °/s
  • 10 rad/d equals 0.006631456 °/s

Common Use Cases

  • Describing rotation rates of planets, moons, or asteroids over extended periods
  • Reporting precession or nutation rates in astronomy and geodesy
  • Specifying spacecraft attitude drift rates for mission planning
  • Analyzing gyroscope outputs in smartphones and drones
  • Setting motor or joint speeds in robotics and motion control
  • Monitoring aircraft or vehicle attitude changes in flight dynamics

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check unit selections to avoid confusion between time scales
  • Be mindful that radian/day values converted to degree/second can be very small
  • Use this tool to aid understanding when translating slow rotations into sensor-scale units

Limitations

  • Resulting degree/second values tend to be very small due to differing time scales
  • Care is needed interpreting converted data in fast or real-time dynamic applications
  • Precision considerations are important when working with low magnitude angular velocities

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert radian per day to degree per second?
Converting from radian/day to degree/second translates slow angular motions into units suited for faster rotational speed analysis in sensors and control systems.

What does a radian/day measure represent?
It represents the angular velocity describing rotations or orientation changes in radians over a 24-hour period, useful for slow rotational phenomena.

When should I be cautious using this conversion?
Because the units involve very different time scales, be careful applying the converted values in real-time or high-speed systems as the resulting numbers can be very small.

Key Terminology

Radian/day [rad/d]
A unit of angular velocity expressing the angle in radians rotated or changed over a 24-hour period.
Degree/second [°/s]
A unit of angular velocity measuring rotational speed in degrees per second.
Angular velocity
The rate at which an object rotates or changes its orientation over time.
