Angle Converter

Practical Applications

Navigation, astronomy, cartography, construction, engineering, crystallography, and practically all geometric sciences.

Historical Context

Angle measurement dates back to the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, who developed the division of the circle into 360 degrees for astronomical and navigational purposes.

Did You Know?

The 360-degree system for the circle was probably chosen by the Babylonians due to the approximation of the solar year to 360 days and for mathematical convenience (360 has many divisors).
