Minute to Radian Converter

Minute

A minute of arc or arcminute (arcmin), denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60 of one degree. Since one degree is 1/360 of a turn (or complete rotation), one minute of arc is 1/21600 of a turn. The nautical mile (nmi) was originally defined as the arc length of a minute of latitude on a spherical Earth, so the actual Earth circumference is very near 21600 nmi. A minute of arc is π/10800 of a radian.

Radian

The radian, (symbol: rad), is the SI unit of angle, and is the standard unit of angular measure. One radian is defined as the angle subtended from the center of a circle which intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle. A right angle is exactly π/2 radians. 2π radians is equal to 360 degrees, meaning that one radian is equal to 180/π degrees (approximately 57.295779513082320876 degrees).
