Exact Ratio

About Degree (°)

A unit of plane angular measurement equal to 1/360 of a full turn (π / 180 radians).

History: Traced to ancient Babylonian astronomers dividing the celestial circle into 360 days/degrees.

Common Uses: Everyday compass geometry, map coordinates (latitude/longitude), navigation.

About Radian (rad)

The SI coherent derived unit of plane angle, subtended by an arc of length equal to its radius (180° / π ≈ 57.29578°).

History: Coined by mathematician James Thomson in 1873; fundamental to mathematical analysis and trigonometry.

Common Uses: Calculus, angular velocity (rad/s), physics orbital mechanics.
