arcminute
Definition: An arcminute (symbol: ') is a unit of angular measure equal to 1/60 of a degree. It is commonly used in astronomy, navigation, and surveying to express small angles.
History/origin: The arcminute is derived from the Babylonian sexagesimal system, which divided a degree into 60 minutes and a minute into 60 seconds.
Current use: Arcminutes are used in astronomy to measure the apparent size of celestial objects and their separation. They are also used in navigation and surveying for precise angle measurements.
gradian
Definition: A gradian (also known as a gon or grade) is a unit of angular measure, defined as 1/400 of a full rotation. It is primarily used in surveying and some European countries.
History/origin: The gradian was introduced in France during the French Revolution as part of the metric system. It was intended to simplify calculations, as it is based on decimal divisions.
Current use: Gradians are mainly used in surveying, particularly in Europe. They are less common than degrees or radians in most other applications.
