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.

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.

How to Convert Degrees to Arcseconds

Conversion factor:

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

Inverse factor:

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

Example

Convert 15 deg to arcsec:

arcsec=deg×3600\text{arcsec} = \text{deg} \times 3600
arcsec=15×3600\text{arcsec} = 15 \times 3600
arcsec=54000\text{arcsec} = 54000
=54000 arcsec= 54000 \, \text{arcsec}
