Angle Converter

Angle measures rotation or the separation between two lines meeting at a point. Degrees are common in everyday use, while radians are the SI unit used in mathematics and physics. A full turn is 360 degrees or 2π radians. Navigation, surveying, and artillery each add their own divisions of the circle.
