A revolution (abbreviated as 'r' or 'rev') is one complete rotation around a circle, equal to 360 degrees. It's commonly used in engineering and physics to measure rotational motion.

What is a Mil?

A mil is a military unit of angular measurement used by NATO forces. One circle contains 6,400 mils, making it useful for artillery and military applications. This is slightly different from a true milliradian (which has 6,283.185... mils per circle).

Quick Facts
