Examples
1
Consider that a microscope's fine adjustment is set to 30 arc seconds for detailed observation. Convert this angle from seconds to Hour Angles.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from seconds to hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = Angle(Seconds) / 54000
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 30 in the above formula.
Angle(Hour Angles) = 30 / 54000
Angle(Hour Angles) = 0.00055555556
Final Answer:
Therefore, 30 " is equal to 0.00055555556 hour angle.
The angle is 0.00055555556 hour angle, in hour angles.
2
Consider that a telescope's alignment needs to be within 20 arc seconds for accurate tracking. Convert this angle from seconds to Hour Angles.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = 20
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from seconds to hour angles is:
Angle(Hour Angles) = Angle(Seconds) / 54000
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 20 in the above formula.
Angle(Hour Angles) = 20 / 54000
Angle(Hour Angles) = 0.00037037037
Final Answer:
Therefore, 20 " is equal to 0.00037037037 hour angle.
The angle is 0.00037037037 hour angle, in hour angles.

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.
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.
