Examples
1
Consider that a microscope's fine adjustment is set to 30 arc seconds for detailed observation.
Convert this angle from seconds to Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from seconds to degrees is:
Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Seconds) / 3600
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 30 in the above formula.
Angle(Degrees) = 30 / 3600
Angle(Degrees) = 0.00833333333
Final Answer:
Therefore, 30 " is equal to 0.00833333333 °.
The angle is 0.00833333333 °, in degrees.
2
Consider that a telescope's alignment needs to be within 20 arc seconds for accurate tracking.
Convert this angle from seconds to Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = 20
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from seconds to degrees is:
Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Seconds) / 3600
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 20 in the above formula.
Angle(Degrees) = 20 / 3600
Angle(Degrees) = 0.00555555556
Final Answer:
Therefore, 20 " is equal to 0.00555555556 °.
The angle is 0.00555555556 °, in degrees.

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.
Degrees
Degrees are a widely used unit of angular measurement, especially in geometry, trigonometry, and everyday applications. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees, with each degree further divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. Degrees offer an intuitive way to express angles, and they are prevalent in fields ranging from navigation to astronomy, as well as in common day-to-day measurements.
