Definition of Degree
- Definition
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, engineering, astronomy, geodesy, and daily measurement.
- Exact factor
- 1° = π/180 rad (exact)
- Examples
- 90° = π/2 rad
- 45° = π/4 rad
- 360° = 1 turn

About the Degree
Facts & Uses
- Universal everyday angle unit: 1 full circle = 360°. Used in navigation, geometry, surveying, and almost all non-mathematical contexts.
- Standard for compass headings, latitude/longitude, roof pitch, camera fields of view, and geometric construction.
- Subdivisions: 1° = 60 arcminutes (′) = 3600 arcseconds (″); commonly used in astronomy and high-precision surveying.
- Common reference angles: 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° (right angle), 180° (straight angle), 360° (full circle).
Curiosities
- The 360° convention dates back to ancient Babylonian astronomy (~2400 BCE), based on a sexagesimal (base-60) number system and an approximation of 360 days per year.
- 360 was kept partly because of its many divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24… — making fractions of a circle easy without decimals.
- The degree is not part of the SI but is one of the units accepted for use with the SI system.
- Approximate equivalents: 1° = π/180 rad ≈ 0.01745 rad ≈ 1.111 grad.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many degrees are in one degree?
One degree equals 1 degrees. To convert, multiply the degree value by 1. For the reverse, divide the degree value by 1 (or multiply by 1).
What is 160 degrees in degrees?
160 degrees = 160 degrees. This is one of the most commonly searched conversions for this pair.
How precise is the degree-to-degree conversion?
The factor 1 is accurate to 6 significant figures, derived from international measurement standards. Our calculator uses full precision internally.
