What is the Formula to convert Milli-radians to Sextants?

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

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Milli-radians) × 6 / (2000 × π)

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 sextants, i.e., Angle(Sextants).

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 Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in milli-radians is:

Angle(Milli-radians) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from milli-radians to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Milli-radians) × 6 / (2000 × π)

Substitution:

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

Angle(Sextants) = 2 × 6 / (2000 × 3.14159265359)

Angle(Sextants) = 0.00190985932

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 mrad is equal to 0.00190985932 sextant.

The angle is 0.00190985932 sextant, in sextants.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The angle in milli-radians is:

Angle(Milli-radians) = 5

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from milli-radians to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Milli-radians) × 6 / (2000 × π)

Substitution:

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

Angle(Sextants) = 5 × 6 / (2000 × 3.14159265359)

Angle(Sextants) = 0.00477464829

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 mrad is equal to 0.00477464829 sextant.

The angle is 0.00477464829 sextant, in sextants.

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.

Sextants

Sextants are a unit of angular measurement used primarily in navigation and astronomy, representing one-sixth of a full circle, or 60 degrees. The sextant instrument, named after this unit, is used to measure the angle between two visible objects, such as a star and the horizon, enabling precise determination of latitude and longitude at sea.
