Enter the input Seconds value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Seconds into Sextants in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Sextants label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Sextants value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Sextants value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Seconds to Sextants?
The formula to convert given angle from Seconds to Sextants is:
Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Seconds) / 216000
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 sextants, i.e., Angle(Sextants).
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 Sextants.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from seconds to sextants is:
Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Seconds) / 216000
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 30 in the above formula.
Angle(Sextants) = 30 / 216000
Angle(Sextants) = 0.00013888889
Final Answer:
Therefore, 30 " is equal to 0.00013888889 sextant.
The angle is 0.00013888889 sextant, in sextants.
2
Consider that a telescope's alignment needs to be within 20 arc seconds for accurate tracking. Convert this angle from seconds to Sextants.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in seconds is:
Angle(Seconds) = 20
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from seconds to sextants is:
Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Seconds) / 216000
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Seconds) = 20 in the above formula.
Angle(Sextants) = 20 / 216000
Angle(Sextants) = 0.00009259259
Final Answer:
Therefore, 20 " is equal to 0.00009259259 sextant.
The angle is 0.00009259259 sextant, in sextants.

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.
Sextants
Sextants are a unit of angular measurement used primarily in navigation and astronomy, representing one-sixth of a full circle, or 60 degrees. The sextant instrument, named after this unit, is used to measure the angle between two visible objects, such as a star and the horizon, enabling precise determination of latitude and longitude at sea.
