How to Convert arcsecond to arcsecondarcsecond
1 arcsec = 1 arcsec
1 arcsec = 1 arcsec
Example: convert 4 arcsec to arcsec:
4 arcsec = 4 x 1 = 4 arcsec
arcsecond
Definition: An arcsecond (symbol: '') is a unit of angular measure equal to 1/60 of an arcminute or 1/3600 of a degree. It is used to express very small angles, particularly in astronomy and surveying.
History/origin: Like the arcminute, the arcsecond originates from the Babylonian sexagesimal system.
Current use: Arcseconds are used in astronomy for high-precision measurements of stellar positions, parallaxes, and proper motions. They are also used in surveying and geodesy for precise angle determination.
