When this angle conversion is useful

  • Switching between degrees and radians for math, spreadsheets, and code.
  • Checking navigation, surveying, graphics, machining, and geometry references.
  • Converting small angular units such as arc minutes and arc seconds when supported.

Rounding angle results

  • Keep more digits when small angular changes affect distance or alignment.
  • Radians often involve pi, so decimal approximations can accumulate error.
  • Use the source convention for surveying, navigation, or coordinate work.

Angle conversion mistakes

  • Entering degrees into a function that expects radians.
  • Reading arc minutes or arc seconds as time units.
  • Rounding small angles too much before using trigonometric functions.

What is a degree?
