Type an angle in any of seven units and it is converted to all the others. Degrees accept decimals or degrees, minutes and seconds: 1° = 60′ = 3,600″, so 12°30′15″ is 12 + 30/60 + 15/3600 = 12.5041667°. Radians use 180° = π rad, gradians 400 to a full turn and milliradians 1,000 to a radian. When the angle is a simple fraction of π, the π form is shown too, such as 5π/72 for 12.5°.

The default, 12°30′15″, is 0.2182389 rad or 45,015″. GPS coordinates and survey bearings are the usual case: a latitude written 33°51′35″ S becomes −33.8597222° for a spreadsheet or mapping tool, with south and west negative.

Only the last DMS part may carry decimals, and minutes and seconds must be below 60. Seconds are rounded to four decimal places, about 3 mm of latitude on the ground.

## Dati

- **Angolo**: Degrees accept DMS such as 12°30'15", 12 30 15 or 33°51'35" S; radians accept expressions such as pi/4
- **Unit of the angle** (opzioni: Degrees (decimal or DMS), Radianti, Gradians (gon), Turns, Arcminutes, Arcseconds, Milliradians)

## Risultati

- Gradi (°) — risultato principale
- Degrees, minutes, seconds
- Radianti (rad)
- Radians as a multiple of π
- Gradi centesimali (grad)
- Turns
- Arcminutes (′)
- Arcseconds (″)
- Milliradians (mrad)
- Same direction within 0°–360° (°)

## Formula

$$
1^\circ = 60' = 3600'' = \frac{\pi}{180}\,\text{rad} = \frac{10}{9}\,\text{grad} = \frac{1}{360}\,\text{turn}
$$

## Domande

### How do you convert degrees, minutes and seconds to decimal degrees?

Add the minutes divided by 60 and the seconds divided by 3,600 to the whole degrees: 12°30′15″ = 12 + 0.5 + 0.0041667 = 12.5041667°. For a south latitude or a west longitude, make the result negative, so 33°51′35″ S is −33.8597222°. The sign applies to the whole angle, not only to the degrees.

### How do you convert decimal degrees to degrees, minutes and seconds?

Keep the whole number as degrees, multiply the fractional part by 60 for minutes, then multiply the new fractional part by 60 for seconds. For 57.2957795°: 0.2957795 × 60 = 17.7467707′, and 0.7467707 × 60 = 44.806″, giving 57°17′44.806″. That angle is one radian.

### Quanti gradi ci sono in un radiante?

One radian is 180/π ≈ 57.2958°, or 57°17′44.8″. It is the angle at the centre of a circle cut off by an arc as long as the radius, so a full turn is 2π ≈ 6.2832 rad. The radian is the SI unit of plane angle; the degree, minute and second are accepted for use with the SI (BIPM SI Brochure, Table 8).

### Che cos’è un grado centesimale?

A gradian, or gon, is 1/400 of a full turn, so a right angle is exactly 100 grad and 1 grad = 0.9°. It is used mainly in surveying in parts of continental Europe, where splitting the right angle into 100 parts suits decimal arithmetic. 200 grad equals 180°, or π rad.

### What is a milliradian?

A milliradian (mrad) is one thousandth of a radian, about 0.0573° or 3.44 arcminutes. At a distance of 1,000 m it spans about 1 m, which is why rifle scopes use it for holdover and range estimates. The NATO mil used for artillery is a rounded version: 6,400 to a circle, against 6,283.2 true milliradians.

### Quanto è preciso «Convertitore di angoli: gradi, radianti, DMS e gon»?

La precisione dipende dai dati inseriti e dalle ipotesi del metodo. Il calcolo decimale usa 50 cifre significative, ma stime, metodi numerici e dati di origine possono essere meno precisi; l’arrotondamento visualizzato non elimina questi limiti. Esempi svolti verificati con fonti indipendenti: 8. Per esempio, «12°30'15" (DMS)» viene verificato con Python 3.8 fractions: 12 + 30/60 + 15/3600 = 3001/240; math.radians of that; ×10/9 for gradians.
