Understanding Degrees and Milliradians
- Degrees: A unit for measuring angles, commonly used in everyday contexts. A full circle has 360 degrees.
- Milliradians (mrad): A smaller unit of angle measurement, often used in precision fields like military, engineering, and astronomy. A full circle has approximately 6,283 milliradians.
Conversion Formula
To convert degrees to milliradians, you can use the following formula:
Milliradians (mrad) = Degrees × 17.4533
This formula works because there are approximately 17.4533 milliradians in one degree.
Example Conversions
To make it clearer, here are some examples of converting degrees to milliradians:
| Degrees | Calculation | Milliradians (mrad) |
|---|---|---|
| 1° | 1 × 17.4533 | 17.45 mrad |
| 10° | 10 × 17.4533 | 174.53 mrad |
| 30° | 30 × 17.4533 | 523.60 mrad |
| 45° | 45 × 17.4533 | 785.40 mrad |
| 90° | 90 × 17.4533 | 1,570.80 mrad |
| 180° | 180 × 17.4533 | 3,141.60 mrad |
| 360° | 360 × 17.4533 | 6,283.20 mrad |
How to Convert Degrees to Milliradians
- Identify the Angle in Degrees: Start with the angle you want to convert. For example, if you have 15 degrees.
- Apply the Conversion Formula:
- Multiply the number of degrees by 17.4533.
- For example, if the angle is 15 degrees:
- Calculation: 15 × 17.4533 = 261.80 milliradians.
- Understand the Result: The result gives you the equivalent angle in milliradians, which is useful for precision calculations in various scientific and technical fields.
Practical Uses
- Engineering and Ballistics: Milliradians are used for precise measurements in fields like gunnery, where small angular adjustments can significantly affect accuracy.
- Astronomy and Surveying: Milliradians help in measuring small angles in large-scale observations, like the positions of stars or land measurements.
