What is the Formula to convert Sextants to Circles?

The formula to convert given angle from Sextants to Circles is:

Angle(Circles) = Angle(Sextants) / 6

Substitute the given value of angle in sextants, i.e., Angle(Sextants) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in circles, i.e., Angle(Circles).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that an old navigation tool, the sextant, measures angles in 6 sextants.
Convert this measurement from sextants to Circles.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to circles is:

Angle(Circles) = Angle(Sextants) / 6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Sextants) = 6 in the above formula.

Angle(Circles) = 6 / 6

Angle(Circles) = 1

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 sextant is equal to 1 circle.

The angle is 1 circle, in circles.

2

Consider that an astronomer divides the night sky into 2 sextants for observation.
Convert this division from sextants to Circles.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to circles is:

Angle(Circles) = Angle(Sextants) / 6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Sextants) = 2 in the above formula.

Angle(Circles) = 2 / 6

Angle(Circles) = 0.3333

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 sextant is equal to 0.3333 circle.

The angle is 0.3333 circle, in circles.

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.

Circles

Circles, in the context of angular measurement, refer to a full rotation or turn, equivalent to 360 degrees or one complete revolution. This unit is often used in discussions of periodic motion, waveforms, and cyclic processes, where the concept of a full rotation is integral to understanding patterns and cycles.
