Gradians
Definition: A gradian (or gon) is a unit of angular measurement where a right angle is divided into 100 gradians, making a full rotation equal to 400 gradians.
History: The gradian system was developed in the late 18th century during the French Revolution as part of the metric system. It was designed to simplify calculations by aligning with decimal-based measurements, though it remains less commonly used today compared to degrees and radians.
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.
