Binary Degrees
Binary degrees, or 'binary angles,' are a unit of angular measurement used in digital systems where angles are represented using binary numbers. This system is particularly useful in computer graphics, robotics, and digital signal processing, where binary calculations are more efficient than traditional degrees.
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.
