Degrees to Mils (NATO) Converter

To convert degrees to mils, multiply the angle by 17.777778 mils/degree; for example, to convert 5 degrees to mils, use the formula: mils = (5° × 17.777778) = 88.888889 mil.

How to Convert Degrees to Mils

To convert an angle measurement from degrees to mils, follow these steps:

1. Understand the Formula: We use a conversion ratio of 17.777778 mils per degree. This means for every degree, there are approximately 17.777778 mils. So, to convert degrees to mils, you multiply the degree measurement by this ratio.
2. Use the Formula: The formula to convert degrees to mils is:

   mils = degrees × 17.777778

   This means you take the number of degrees and multiply it by 17.777778 to get the equivalent measurement in mils.

3. Example Calculation: Let’s say you have an angle of 5 degrees that you want to convert to mils. Using the formula:

   mils = (5° × 17.777778)

   mils = 88.888889 mil

   So, 5 degrees is equal to approximately 88.888889 mils.

4. Understanding the Conversion: The reason we use 17.777778 mils per degree is because this ratio accurately converts between the two units of angle measurement. It’s based on the definition of a degree and the mil as fractions of a complete circle.

And that’s all there is to it! By following these steps, you can easily convert angle measurements from degrees to mils.
