About Radians and Degrees

Radian (rad) is the SI unit for angle, defined as the central angle subtended by an arc length equal to the radius. One full circle equals 2π radians, i.e. 360°.

Gradian (grad), also known as "gon", is used in some European countries and surveying. It divides a right angle into 100 parts, so one full circle = 400 grad, meaning 1 grad = 0.9°.

Milliradian (mrad) is widely used in military and optical applications. The NATO standard divides a circle into 6400 mils (approximately 6283 mrad). 1 mrad ≈ 0.0573°, which at a distance of 1 km corresponds to approximately 1 meter of arc length.

FAQ

How many degrees are in 1 radian?

1 radian (rad) = 180/π ≈ 57.29578°. This follows from the definition of a radian: when the arc length equals the radius, the corresponding central angle is 1 radian. Since the full circumference is 2πr, a full circle = 2π rad = 360°, so 1 rad = 360°/(2π) = 180°/π.

How do I convert between degrees, minutes, and seconds?

1° = 60′ (arcminutes), 1′ = 60″ (arcseconds), therefore 1° = 3600″. For example: 30°15′50″ = 30 + 15/60 + 50/3600 ≈ 30.2639°. The DMS (Degrees-Minutes-Seconds) format is very common in latitude/longitude notation.

What is the difference between gradian and degree?

A gradian (grad or gon) divides a right angle (90°) into 100 equal parts, so one full circle = 400 grad. Conversion: 1 grad = 0.9°, 1° = 10/9 ≈ 1.111 grad. Gradians are mainly used in European surveying and have the advantage of avoiding base-60 notation — everything is decimal.

Is a milliradian (mrad) the same as a mil?

Not exactly. 1 mrad ≈ 0.0573°. The "mil" differs across standards: NATO standard divides a circle into 6400 mils (1 mil ≈ 0.05625°), while the Warsaw Pact standard uses 6000 mils. This tool uses the mathematical milliradian (mrad), which is 1/1000 of a radian.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion calculations run entirely in your browser using pure JavaScript math. Your input data never leaves your device.

How accurate are the conversion results?

This tool uses JavaScript double-precision floating-point numbers (64-bit IEEE 754) for calculations, which is sufficiently accurate for the vast majority of everyday scenarios. Radian-to-degree conversion uses the full double-precision value of π (approximately 3.141592653589793). Decimal portions are capped at 6 significant decimal places, and excessively long decimals are automatically truncated.

Which angle units are supported?

This tool supports 8 common angle units: degree (°), radian (rad), gradian (grad), arcminute (′), arcsecond (″), milliradian (mrad), microradian (μrad) and circle. Enter any value and unit to convert it into all the others at once.

What range of values is supported?

There is no fixed upper limit on the value. It handles most everyday integers and decimals. Subject to the browser's double-precision limit, extremely large or small values may show tiny precision errors that have virtually no practical impact.

How fast is the conversion?

Instant. All calculations run locally in your browser in real time, displaying all results with almost zero delay and without waiting for network requests.

Does it require payment or registration?

Completely free, no registration needed. You can use all features directly by opening the page — no fees, no login.

Can I use it on a phone?

Yes. The page is responsive and works properly on phones, tablets and desktops, with smooth conversion in mobile browsers as well.

What advantages does it have over other converters?

Local computation is safer and lighter. Compared with desktop software that requires file uploads, this tool needs no installation and is ready to use instantly; compared with some online tools, all calculations are done locally and data is never uploaded, balancing speed and privacy.
