Examples
1
Consider that an astronomer adjusts a telescope by 15 minutes of arc to focus on a distant star. Convert this angle from minutes to Hour Angles.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from minutes to hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = Angle(Minutes) / 900
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 15 in the above formula.
Angle(Hour Angles) = 15 / 900
Angle(Hour Angles) = 0.01666666667
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 ' is equal to 0.01666666667 hour angle.
The angle is 0.01666666667 hour angle, in hour angles.
2
Consider that a surveyor sets the angle of a theodolite to 10 minutes for precise measurement. Convert this angle from minutes to Hour Angles.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from minutes to hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = Angle(Minutes) / 900
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 10 in the above formula.
Angle(Hour Angles) = 10 / 900
Angle(Hour Angles) = 0.01111111111
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 ' is equal to 0.01111111111 hour angle.
The angle is 0.01111111111 hour angle, in hour angles.

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.
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.
