Angle converter
Convert angles between degrees, radians and other units. A full turn is 360° or 2π radians, so 1 radian is about 57.2958°.
Result
1 ° = 0.0174533 rad
90 °
1.571 rad
Both bars show the same amount: 90 ° on top, 1.571 rad below.

How it works
Angles are converted through the degree. Radians are the natural unit in mathematics and programming (sin, cos), gradians (gon) divide a right angle into 100 and are used in surveying, and arcminutes and arcseconds are used in astronomy and maps.
