Converting from Radian (rad) to Sextant (sextant) | Angle

What is Radian (rad)

Radian (rad) is a unit of angular measurement in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. Radians are widely used in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

What is Sextant (sextant)

Sextant (sextant) is another unit of angular measurement commonly used in navigation. It is equal to 1/6th of a full circle or 60 degrees. The term "sextant" originates from the Latin word "sextus," meaning sixth.
