About these units

Second: An arcsecond (second of arc) is 1/60 of an arcminute.It is common in astronomy, surveying, astrometry, and precision optics for high-precision angles.

Degree: The degree (°) is a non-SI unit of plane angle defined as 1/360 of a full rotation.It is accepted for use with the SI due to its long-standing practical importance in navigation, surveying, engineeri...
