How to convert arcseconds to turns
A full turn is 2π radians, 360 degrees, or 400 gradians. Decimal degrees are not degrees-minutes-seconds notation. Angular minutes and seconds are not time units.
Use x for the value in ″, b for the intermediate value in rad, and y for the result in turn.
turn = ″ × 0.00000484813681109536 ÷ 6.283185307179586
Worked examples
10 ″ ≈ 0.00000771604938272 turn
Step 1: (10 × 0.0000048481368111) ≈ 0.000048481368111 rad.
Step 2: 0.000048481368111 ÷ 6.28318530718 ≈ 0.00000771604938272 turn.20 ″ ≈ 0.0000154320987654 turn
Step 1: (20 × 0.0000048481368111) ≈ 0.0000969627362219 rad.
Step 2: 0.0000969627362219 ÷ 6.28318530718 ≈ 0.0000154320987654 turn.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Arcseconds
Arcseconds (″) measures angle under the conventions above. The base value in rad is (x × 0.0000048481368111), where x is the numerical value in ″. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Turns
Turns (turn) measures angle under the conventions above. The base value in rad is (x × 6.28318530718), where x is the numerical value in turn. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
