How to Use Angle Conversion Calculator
The Angle Conversion Calculator instantly converts any angle between four common units used in math, engineering, and surveying.
- Enter the value — Any positive or negative decimal number.
- Pick the source unit — Degrees, radians, gradians, or turns.
- Read all four results — The converted value plus the equivalent in every other unit.
- Use the table — Reference the side-by-side unit values for reports or homework.
Formula & Theory - Angle Conversion Calculator
The four units relate through these exact identities:
1 turn = 360° = 2π rad = 400 gon
1° = π / 180 rad = 10/9 gon = 1/360 turn
1 rad = 180/π degrees ≈ 57.2958°
1 gon = 0.9° = π/200 rad
| Unit | Symbol | Full circle |
|---|---|---|
| Degree | ° | 360 |
| Radian | rad | 2π |
| Gradian | gon | 400 |
| Turn | turn | 1 |
Conversion Formulas
deg = rad × 180/π = gon × 0.9 = turns × 360
rad = deg × π/180 = gon × π/200 = turns × 2π
Use Cases for Angle Conversion Calculator
The Angle Conversion Calculator is helpful for:
- Math and physics — Switch between degrees and radians for trig functions and rotational mechanics.
- Engineering drawings — Convert design angles between degrees and gradians for CAD or surveying.
- Robotics & motors — Translate encoder counts (turns) into degrees or radians.
- Astronomy — Convert celestial angle measurements between systems.
- Surveying — Gradians remain common in French and Scandinavian land surveying.
- Game and graphics — Convert player rotation values stored in turns or radians to degrees.
The Angle Conversion Calculator provides a single source of truth for every angle representation you might need.
