Comparison: Degree vs Turn
When to Use Each Unit
Degree: Universal standard for navigation, surveying, engineering, geography, and most practical angle measurements worldwide.
Turn: Used for describing rotational speed, mechanical rotations, and complete angular motions in engineering.
Common Conversion Values
- 360° = full circle
- 180° = straight line
- 90° = right angle
- 1° = 60 arcminutes
About Degree
Definition: The degree (symbol: °) is a unit of angular measurement where a full circle is divided into 360 equal parts.
History: Ancient Babylonian origin based on their sexagesimal (base-60) number system and approximate 360-day year calendar.
Current Use: Universal standard for navigation, surveying, engineering, geography, and most practical angle measurements worldwide.
Examples: Geographic coordinates: 0-360°, compass bearings: 0-360°, building angles: 30-90°, camera rotation: 0-360°
About Turn
Definition: The turn (symbol: tr) represents one complete rotation or revolution, equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.
History: Natural unit representing complete rotational motion, used in mechanical systems and rotational applications.
Current Use: Used for describing rotational speed, mechanical rotations, and complete angular motions in engineering.
Examples: Motor rotations: RPM (revolutions per minute), mechanical systems: gear ratios, astronomy: planetary rotations
