Gons
Definition: Gons are equivalent to gradians, where a right angle equals 100 gons, and a full rotation equals 400 gons.
History: Gons, like gradians, were introduced as part of the metric system to create a more decimal-friendly angular measurement. Although widely used in European surveying, the system never fully replaced degrees and radians in broader scientific and engineering fields.
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.
