Circles to Minutes of Arc Converter

To convert circles to minutes of arc, multiply the angle by the conversion ratio of 21,600 minutes of arc per circle, yielding the formula: minutes of arc = circles × 21,600.

How Circle to Minutes of Arc Converter Works?

1. Starting Point – The Interface:

Imagine you’re using a converter with two main inputs:

• Circle Value: You input the angle in circles that you want to convert into minutes of arc. Think of this as how many times you’re going around a circle.
• Result in Minutes of Arc: Once you input the circle value, the converter instantly gives you the equivalent angle in minutes of arc.

2. The Calculation Begins:

Once you’ve entered the circle value, the converter uses a simple formula to find the equivalent in minutes of arc:

minutes of arc = circles × 21,600

This formula multiplies the circle value by 21,600 to give you the angle in minutes of arc.

3. Understanding the Formula:

• Circle Value: This is the angle in circles you input, representing how many times you’re going around a circle.
• 21,600: This number is constant because there are 21,600 minutes of arc in one circle. So, we multiply the circle value by this constant to convert it into minutes of arc.

4. Example Calculation:

Let’s say you want to convert 5 circles into minutes of arc. Plugging this into the formula:

minutes of arc = (5 cir × 21,600)

minutes of arc = (5 × 21,600)

minutes of arc = 108,000

So, 5 circles is equivalent to 108,000 minutes of arc.

5. Final Outcome:

The converter then displays the result, telling you the angle in minutes of arc. This tool helps you quickly convert between circles and minutes of arc, making it easier to work with different angle measurements.
