Converting from Second of arc (") to Gradian (grad)

What is Second of arc (")

Second of arc (") is a unit of angle commonly used in geometry and trigonometry. One degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds. This unit is often used when measuring small angles or precise astronomical positions.

What is Gradian (grad)

Gradian (grad) is another unit of angle measurement, primarily used in some countries for civil engineering and military purposes. It divides a right angle into 100 equal parts, with each gradian being equivalent to 9/10 of a degree.

Conversion Formulas

When converting from seconds of arc (") to gradians (grad), you can use the following formulas:

gradians (grad)=seconds of arc (”)×0.000308642

or

seconds of arc (”)=gradians (grad)×3240

Examples

• 6 (") = 0.001851852 (grad)
• 6 (grad) = 19440 (")
• 4 (") = 0.001234568 (grad)
• 4 (grad) = 12960 (")
• 8 (") = 0.002469136 (grad)
• 8 (grad) = 25920 (")
