What is the Formula to convert Seconds to Minutes?

The formula to convert given angle from Seconds to Minutes is:

Angle(Minutes) = Angle(Seconds) / 60

Substitute the given value of angle in seconds, i.e., Angle(Seconds) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in minutes, i.e., Angle(Minutes).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a microscope's fine adjustment is set to 30 arc seconds for detailed observation.
Convert this angle from seconds to Minutes.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in seconds is:

Angle(Seconds) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from seconds to minutes is:

Angle(Minutes) = Angle(Seconds) / 60

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 30 in the above formula.

Angle(Minutes) = 30 / 60

Angle(Minutes) = 0.5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 " is equal to 0.5 '.

The angle is 0.5 ', in minutes.

2

Consider that a telescope's alignment needs to be within 20 arc seconds for accurate tracking.
Convert this angle from seconds to Minutes.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in seconds is:

Angle(Seconds) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from seconds to minutes is:

Angle(Minutes) = Angle(Seconds) / 60

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 20 in the above formula.

Angle(Minutes) = 20 / 60

Angle(Minutes) = 0.3333

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 " is equal to 0.3333 '.

The angle is 0.3333 ', in minutes.

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.

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.
