This converter allows you to convert degrees [°] to arcseconds [″] or arcseconds [″] to degrees [°]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.
Convert degrees to arcseconds
There are two simple ways to convert degrees [°] to arcseconds [″]. In the first calculation method, the value in degrees [°] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 2.778 * 10-4. The second method multiplies the value in degrees [°] by 3,600.
- Arcseconds [″] ≈ degrees [°] ÷ (2.778 * 10-4)
- Arcseconds [″] = degrees [°] * 3,600
The calculation method with a rounded conversion value is more suitable for rough conversions from degrees [°] to arcseconds [″], as the calculation result may contain rounding errors. Therefore, the variant with the exact conversion factor is more suitable.
Convert arcseconds to degrees
Converting arcseconds [″] to degrees [°] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in arcseconds [″] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 2.778 * 10-4. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in arcseconds [″] is divided by 3,600.
- Degrees [°] ≈ arcseconds [″] * 2.778 * 10-4
- Degrees [°] = arcseconds [″] ÷ 3,600
The rounded conversion value can cause rounding errors, resulting in inaccurate calculation results. To ensure that the conversion from arcseconds [″] to degrees [°] produces the most accurate calculation result possible, the conversion should be performed using the exact conversion factor.
