Gradians to Seconds of Arc Converter

To convert a measurement in gradians to a measurement in seconds of arc, multiply the angle by the conversion ratio of 3,240 seconds of arc per gradian, where one gradian is equal to 3,240 seconds of arc; thus, seconds of arc equals gradians multiplied by 3,240.

How to Convert Gradians to Seconds of Arc

By Joe Sexton

1. Understand the Inputs:
   • Gradian Value: Input the angle in gradians that you want to convert to seconds of arc.
2. Know the Conversion Ratio:

   To convert gradians to seconds of arc, we use the conversion ratio of 3,240 seconds of arc per gradian.

3. Apply the Formula:

   To perform the conversion, multiply the angle in gradians by 3,240. This gives you the angle in seconds of arc.

   So, the formula is: seconds of arc = gradians × 3,240.

4. Example Calculation:

   For example, if you have 5 gradians:

   • seconds of arc = (5g × 3,240) = 16,200

Explanation:

Gradians and seconds of arc are units used to measure angles. When converting from gradians to seconds of arc, we utilize the conversion factor of 3,240 seconds of arc per gradian. By multiplying the angle in gradians by this conversion factor, you can obtain the equivalent angle in seconds of arc.

For instance, if you have 5 gradians, when you multiply it by 3,240, you get 16,200 seconds of arc.

That’s how you convert gradians to seconds of arc using the calculator!
