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.
Gradians
Gradians, also known as grads or gon, are a unit of angular measurement where a full circle is divided into 400 gradians. This unit is particularly useful in fields such as surveying and civil engineering, especially in some European countries. One gradian is equivalent to 0.9 degrees, making it convenient for calculating right angles and dividing circles into decimal fractions.
