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.
Degrees
Degrees are a widely used unit of angular measurement, especially in geometry, trigonometry, and everyday applications. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees, with each degree further divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. Degrees offer an intuitive way to express angles, and they are prevalent in fields ranging from navigation to astronomy, as well as in common day-to-day measurements.
