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.
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.
