Examples
1
Consider that the position of a celestial body is tracked at 6 hour angles. Convert this angle from hour angles to Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from hour angles to degrees is:
Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Hour Angles) × 15
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Hour Angles) = 6 in the above formula.
Angle(Degrees) = 6 × 15
Angle(Degrees) = 90
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 hour angle is equal to 90 °.
The angle is 90 °, in degrees.
2
Consider that a sundial shows a time difference of 4 hour angles. Convert this angle from hour angles to Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = 4
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from hour angles to degrees is:
Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Hour Angles) × 15
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Hour Angles) = 4 in the above formula.
Angle(Degrees) = 4 × 15
Angle(Degrees) = 60
Final Answer:
Therefore, 4 hour angle is equal to 60 °.
The angle is 60 °, in degrees.

Hour Angles
Hour angles are a unit of angular measurement used in astronomy to describe the position of celestial objects relative to an observer's local meridian. One hour angle corresponds to 15 degrees, reflecting the Earth's rotation rate of 15 degrees per hour. Hour angles are crucial in celestial navigation and the tracking of astronomical objects.
Degrees
Degrees are a widely used unit of angular measurement, especially in geometry, trigonometry, and everyday applications. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees, with each degree further divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. Degrees offer an intuitive way to express angles, and they are prevalent in fields ranging from navigation to astronomy, as well as in common day-to-day measurements.
