Examples
1
Consider that the position of a celestial body is tracked at 6 hour angles. Convert this angle from hour angles to Seconds.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from hour angles to seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = Angle(Hour Angles) × 54000
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Hour Angles) = 6 in the above formula.
Angle(Seconds) = 6 × 54000
Angle(Seconds) = 324000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 hour angle is equal to 324000 ".
The angle is 324000 ", in seconds.
2
Consider that a sundial shows a time difference of 4 hour angles. Convert this angle from hour angles to Seconds.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = 4
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from hour angles to seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = Angle(Hour Angles) × 54000
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Hour Angles) = 4 in the above formula.
Angle(Seconds) = 4 × 54000
Angle(Seconds) = 216000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 4 hour angle is equal to 216000 ".
The angle is 216000 ", in seconds.

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.
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.
