Converting from Second of arc (") to Octant (octant) | Angle

What is Second of arc (")

Second of arc ("), also known as arcsecond, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of an arcminute or 1/3600th of a degree. It is commonly used in astronomy and geodesy for specifying small angles.

What is Octant (octant)

Octant (octant) is a unit of angular measurement that represents 1/8th of a full circle. This means that there are eight octants in a complete rotation, with each octant covering 45 degrees.
