Diameter Parts
Diameter parts are a less common unit of angular measurement, historically used to describe angles in terms of the fractional parts of a circle's diameter. This unit was more prevalent in classical geometry and certain types of mechanical design, where direct relationships between linear measurements and angles were essential.
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.
