An arcminute is an angle unit equal to one sixtieth of a degree.
Arcminutes developed from sexagesimal angle subdivision and remain common in astronomy and navigation.
Arcminutes are used in astronomy, optics, mapping, navigation, surveying, angular resolution, and precision alignment.
An arcsecond is an angle unit equal to one sixtieth of an arcminute.
Arcseconds developed from further sexagesimal subdivision of angles and remain important in precision measurement.
Arcseconds are used in astronomy, optics, geodesy, surveying, angular resolution, telescope pointing, and precision alignment.
Mathematically, arcsecond (″) = arcminute (′) converted with the formula below.
1 ′ = 60 ″
1 ″ = 0.016667 ′
Formula: value × 60
Example: 15 ′ = 900 ″
Precision note: Use the exact relationship 1 arcminute = 60 arcseconds. Preserve source precision before rounding the arcsecond result.
1 ′ = 60 ″
1 ″ = 0.016667 ′
