Examples
1
Consider that the position of a celestial body is tracked at 6 hour angles. Convert this angle from hour angles to Minutes.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from hour angles to minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = Angle(Hour Angles) × 900
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Hour Angles) = 6 in the above formula.
Angle(Minutes) = 6 × 900
Angle(Minutes) = 5400
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 hour angle is equal to 5400 '.
The angle is 5400 ', in minutes.
2
Consider that a sundial shows a time difference of 4 hour angles. Convert this angle from hour angles to Minutes.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = 4
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from hour angles to minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = Angle(Hour Angles) × 900
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Hour Angles) = 4 in the above formula.
Angle(Minutes) = 4 × 900
Angle(Minutes) = 3600
Final Answer:
Therefore, 4 hour angle is equal to 3600 '.
The angle is 3600 ', in minutes.

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.
Minutes
Minutes of arc are a finer subdivision of degrees, with 60 minutes making up one degree. Each minute is further divided into 60 seconds of arc. This unit allows for precise angular measurements and is commonly used in fields like astronomy, navigation, and geodesy, where detailed accuracy is required for mapping and celestial observations.
