What is the Formula to convert Milli-radians to Compass Points?

The formula to convert given angle from Milli-radians to Compass Points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = Angle(Milli-radians) × 360 / (2000 × π × 11.25)

Substitute the given value of angle in milli-radians, i.e., Angle(Milli-radians) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in compass points, i.e., Angle(Compass Points).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a sniper adjusts their scope by 2 milliradians for long-distance accuracy.
Convert this angle from milliradians to Compass Points.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in milli-radians is:

Angle(Milli-radians) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from milli-radians to compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = Angle(Milli-radians) × 360 / (2000 × π × 11.25)

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Milli-radians) = 2 in the above formula.

Angle(Compass Points) = 2 × 360 / (2000 × 3.14159265359 × 11.25)

Angle(Compass Points) = 0.01018591636

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 mrad is equal to 0.01018591636 compass point.

The angle is 0.01018591636 compass point, in compass points.

2

Consider that a military rangefinder uses 5 milliradians for precise targeting.
Convert this angle from milliradians to Compass Points.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in milli-radians is:

Angle(Milli-radians) = 5

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from milli-radians to compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = Angle(Milli-radians) × 360 / (2000 × π × 11.25)

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Milli-radians) = 5 in the above formula.

Angle(Compass Points) = 5 × 360 / (2000 × 3.14159265359 × 11.25)

Angle(Compass Points) = 0.02546479089

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 mrad is equal to 0.02546479089 compass point.

The angle is 0.02546479089 compass point, in compass points.

Milli-radians

Milli-radians (mrad) are a unit of angular measurement equal to one-thousandth of a radian. This small unit is used in fields such as ballistics, gunnery, and optics, where precise angular measurements are critical. Milli-radians allow for the calculation of minute angular displacements, distances, and target adjustments.

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.
