Arcminute (arcmin)

An arcminute is 1/60 of a degree, or 1/21600 of a full rotation. It is commonly used in astronomy and navigation.

Radian (rad)

A radian is the SI unit of angular measure. One radian is the angle created when the arc length equals the radius of a circle.

How to Convert Arcminutes to Radians

Conversion factor:

1 arcmin=0.00029 rad1\,\text{arcmin} = 0.00029\,\text{rad}

Inverse factor:

1 rad=3437.74677 arcmin1\,\text{rad} = 3437.74677\,\text{arcmin}

Example

Convert 15 arcmin to rad:

rad=arcmin×0.00029\text{rad} = \text{arcmin} \times 0.00029
rad=15×0.00029\text{rad} = 15 \times 0.00029
rad=0.00436\text{rad} = 0.00436
=0.00436 rad= 0.00436 \, \text{rad}
