How to convert turns to radians

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 turn, b for the intermediate value in rad, and y for the result in rad.

rad = turn × 6.283185307179586

Worked examples

  • 10 turn ≈ 62.8318530718 rad

    Step 1: (10 × 6.28318530718) ≈ 62.8318530718 rad.
    Step 2: 62.8318530718 ÷ 1 ≈ 62.8318530718 rad.

  • 20 turn ≈ 125.663706144 rad

    Step 1: (20 × 6.28318530718) ≈ 125.663706144 rad.
    Step 2: 125.663706144 ÷ 1 ≈ 125.663706144 rad.

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 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.

About Radians

Radians (rad) measures angle under the conventions above. The base value in rad is (x × 1), where x is the numerical value in rad. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
