Understanding Milliradians

Milliradians (mrad) are a way to measure angles. Imagine a full circle – that’s 360 degrees. A milliradian is a tiny fraction of that circle. It’s like dividing a pizza into a thousand equal slices.

Conversion Factors

To convert milliradians to other angle units, we use conversion factors. These are like special numbers that help us change from one unit to another without changing the actual angle.

The Conversion Formula

To convert milliradians to another unit:
Value in milliradians × Conversion factor = Result

Example

Let’s say you have 5 milliradians. You want to know how many degrees that is.
You find the conversion factor for milliradians to degrees, which is approximately 0.0573.

So, you multiply 5 (milliradians) by 0.0573 (conversion factor for degrees):
5 milliradians × 0.0573 ≈ 0.2865 degrees

This means 5 milliradians is approximately equal to 0.2865 degrees.

Conclusion

Using this calculator, you can easily convert milliradians to radians, degrees, minutes of arc, seconds of arc, gradians, revolutions, circles, or mils. It helps you understand angles better and work with different units effortlessly.
