How to Convert 20 Degrees to Arcseconds (20 deg to arcsec)


By using our Degree to Arcsecond conversion tool, you know that one Degree is equivalent to 3600 Arcsecond. Hence, to convert Degree to Arcsecond, we just need to multiply the number by 3600. We are going to use very simple Degree to Arcsecond conversion formula for that. Pleas see the calculation example given below.

\(\text{1 Degree} = \text{3600 Arcseconds}\)

\(\text{20 Degrees} = 20 \times 3600 = \text{72000 Arcseconds}\)

What is Degree Unit of Measure?


Degree is a unit of measurement of plane angle. One full rotation is considered as 360 degrees. The degree is also referred as degree of arc, arcdegree or arcdegree. The specific reason of choosing degree as a unit of rotations and angles is pretty unclear, but as per historical facts, 360 is approximately the number of days in a year.

What is the symbol of Degree?


The symbol of Degree is deg. This means you can also write one Degree as 1 deg.

What is Arcsecond Unit of Measure?


Arcsec also known as arc second or second arc is a unit of angular measurement. One second of arc is equal to 1/60 of an arcminute, 1/3600 of a degree, 1/296000 of a turn. That means one full circle will have 1296000 arcseconds. Similar to arcmin, arcsec was originated in Babylonian astronomy as sexagesimal subdivisions of the degree. It is primarily used in fields where most of the work involves working with small angles such as optometry, ophthalmology, and astronomy. In astronomy related work, it is used for comparison of angular diameter of Moon, Sun, and planets. Apart from that, it is also used in cartography and navigation.

What is the symbol of Arcsecond?


The symbol of Arcsecond is arcsec. This means you can also write one Arcsecond as 1 arcsec.
