Understanding Arcseconds and Gradians

What is a Second of Arc (″)?

A second of arc (arcsecond) is a precise unit of angular measurement equal to 1/3600 of a degree. It's commonly used in astronomy, surveying, and precision measurements where extreme accuracy is required.

What is a Gradian (g)?

A gradian is an alternative unit of angular measurement where one complete circle is divided into 400 gradians. This makes it particularly useful in surveying and engineering as 100 gradians equal a right angle.

Conversion Formula

To convert from arcseconds to gradians:

Gradians = Arcseconds ÷ 3240

Common Conversions

  • 1 gradian = 3240 arcseconds
  • 100 gradians = 324000 arcseconds (right angle)
  • 400 gradians = 1296000 arcseconds (full circle)
