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.
Right Angles
Right angles are a fundamental unit of angular measurement, representing 90 degrees or one-quarter of a full circle. Right angles are central to geometry, trigonometry, and many practical fields, including construction, engineering, and design, where perpendicularity and orthogonality are key principles.
