Convert Gradians to Arcseconds

Gradian (grad)

A gradian, also known as a gon or grade, is defined as 1/400 of a full rotation. It was designed to simplify calculations in base-10 systems.

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

Conversion factor:

1\,\text{grad} = 3240\,\text{arcsec}

Inverse factor:

1\,\text{arcsec} = 0.00031\,\text{grad}

Example

Convert 15 grad to arcsec:

\text{arcsec} = \text{grad} \times 3240

\text{arcsec} = 15 \times 3240

\text{arcsec} = 48600

= 48600 \, \text{arcsec}
