Examples
1
Consider that a ship's navigation system shifts by 8 compass points to adjust its course. Convert this direction from compass points to Seconds.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in compass points is:
Angle(Compass Points) = 8
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from compass points to seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = Angle(Compass Points) × 40500
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Compass Points) = 8 in the above formula.
Angle(Seconds) = 8 × 40500
Angle(Seconds) = 324000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 compass point is equal to 324000 ".
The angle is 324000 ", in seconds.
2
Consider that a hiker adjusts their direction by 4 compass points to stay on track. Convert this direction from compass points to Seconds.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in compass points is:
Angle(Compass Points) = 4
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from compass points to seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = Angle(Compass Points) × 40500
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Compass Points) = 4 in the above formula.
Angle(Seconds) = 4 × 40500
Angle(Seconds) = 162000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 4 compass point is equal to 162000 ".
The angle is 162000 ", in seconds.

Compass Points
Compass points are a unit of angular measurement used in navigation and cartography to represent directions on a compass. Traditionally, the compass is divided into 32 points, each representing 11.25 degrees. Compass points are essential in maritime navigation, aviation, and orienteering, providing a simple and standardized way to describe directions.
Seconds
Seconds of arc, often simply called arcseconds, are a further subdivision of minutes of arc, with 60 seconds in one minute. This small unit is used for extremely precise angular measurements, such as those needed in astronomy, optics, and surveying, where even minute differences in angle can be significant.
