How to Convert Degrees to Grades
1 deg = 1.111111111111111 grades
1 grades = 0.9 deg
Example: convert 10 deg to grades: 10 deg = 10 × 1.111111111111111 deg = 11.111111111111109 deg
Degrees
Definition: A degree (°) is a unit of angular measurement, with a full rotation equaling 360 degrees. Since one complete turn corresponds to 2π radians, a single degree is equal to π/180 radians. While not an SI (International System of Units) unit, the degree is officially recognized in the SI brochure.
History: The exact origin of the degree as a unit of rotation and angles remains uncertain. One theory suggests that 360 was chosen for its high divisibility, featuring 24 divisors and being divisible by every number from 1 to 10, except 7. This makes 360 a highly practical choice for measuring angles.
Grades
Definition: Grades are another term for gradians, with one grade being equal to one gradian. A full circle consists of 400 grades.
History: Grades, or gradians, originated from the same decimal-based system developed during the French Revolution. While the system aimed to simplify angle measurement, its adoption remained limited outside of specific engineering and surveying applications.
