How to use this Seconds to Radians Converter 🤔

Follow these steps to convert given angle from the units of Seconds to the units of Radians.

  1. Enter the input Seconds value in the text field.
  2. The calculator converts the given Seconds into Radians in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Radians label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Radians value is re-calculated, just like that.
  3. You may copy the resulting Radians value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Seconds to Radians?

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

Angle(Radians) = Angle(Seconds) × π/ 648000

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 radians, i.e., Angle(Radians).

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 Radians.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in seconds is:

Angle(Seconds) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from seconds to radians is:

Angle(Radians) = Angle(Seconds) × π/ 648000

Substitution:

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

Angle(Radians) = 30 × 3.14159265359/ 648000

Angle(Radians) = 0.0001454441

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 " is equal to 0.0001454441 rad.

The angle is 0.0001454441 rad, in radians.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The angle in seconds is:

Angle(Seconds) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from seconds to radians is:

Angle(Radians) = Angle(Seconds) × π/ 648000

Substitution:

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

Angle(Radians) = 20 × 3.14159265359/ 648000

Angle(Radians) = 0.00009696274

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 " is equal to 0.00009696274 rad.

The angle is 0.00009696274 rad, in radians.

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.

Radians

Radians are a fundamental unit of angular measurement in the International System of Units (SI). One radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. Radians are essential in mathematics and physics, particularly in calculus and trigonometry, where they simplify equations and allow for the natural expression of rotational and periodic phenomena.
