Convert Degrees to Turns
Please provide values below to convert Degrees [deg] to Turns [turns].
How to Convert Degrees to Turns
1 deg = 0.002777777777777778 turns
1 turns = 360 deg
Example: convert 10 deg to turns: 10 deg = 10 × 0.002777777777777778 deg = 0.02777777777777778 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.
Turns
Definition: A turn (also known as a revolution or full rotation) is a unit of angular measurement equivalent to 360 degrees or 2π radians. It represents a complete circular movement back to the starting position.
History: The concept of a turn as a unit of measurement has been used throughout history in various mathematical and engineering applications. The idea of a full rotation being equivalent to 360 degrees likely originated from ancient astronomical observations, where the Earth’s orbit around the Sun was divided into 360 parts.
