Arcsecond (arcsec)

An arcsecond is 1/60 of an arcminute, or 1/3600 of a degree. It is commonly used in precise scientific and astronomical contexts.

Degree (deg)

A degree is a unit of angle equal to 1/360 of a full rotation. It is the most commonly used unit in day-to-day angle measurements.

How to Convert Arcseconds to Degrees

Conversion factor:

1 arcsec=0.00028 deg1\,\text{arcsec} = 0.00028\,\text{deg}

Inverse factor:

1 deg=3600 arcsec1\,\text{deg} = 3600\,\text{arcsec}

Example

Convert 15 arcsec to deg:

deg=arcsec×0.00028\text{deg} = \text{arcsec} \times 0.00028
deg=15×0.00028\text{deg} = 15 \times 0.00028
deg=0.00417\text{deg} = 0.00417
=0.00417 deg= 0.00417 \, \text{deg}
