Convert Arcminute (′) to Arcsecond (″) instantly.
Formula
value × 60
| Sample | Converted |
|---|---|
| 1 ′ | 60 ″ |
| 5 ′ | 300 ″ |
| 10 ′ | 600 ″ |
| 100 ′ | 6,000 ″ |
| 1,000 ′ | 60,000 ″ |
This conversion scales values from a larger angle unit to a smaller one. That usually increases the numeric value when going from ′ to ″.
