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.
π Radians
π radians represent a half-circle or 180 degrees. This unit is fundamental in mathematics, particularly in trigonometry and calculus, where the relationship between angles and the properties of circles is central to many concepts. The use of π radians simplifies the representation of angles and the formulation of trigonometric functions.
