Mils (NATO) to Degrees Converter

To convert a measurement in mils to a measurement in degrees, simply multiply the angle by the conversion ratio: 0.05625 degrees/mil. For example, to convert 5 mils to degrees, the calculation would be: degrees = (5 mils × 0.05625) = 0.28125°. Mils, short for milliradians, are used by the US military and NATO, while degrees are a measure of angle equal to 1/360th of a circle.

How to Convert Mils to Degrees

Step 1: Understand the Interface

Imagine you’re using a mils to degrees converter. It has two main inputs:

• Mil Value: This is where you enter the angle measurement in mils that you want to convert to degrees.
• Result in Degrees: Here, you’ll get the converted angle in degrees once you input the mil value.

Step 2: The Conversion Process

Once you’ve entered the mil value, the converter applies a simple formula:

Degrees = Mil Value × 0.05625

This means the angle in degrees equals the angle in mils multiplied by 0.05625.

Step 3: Understanding the Formula

• Mil Value: This is the angle measurement you input in mils.
• 0.05625: This is the conversion ratio between mils and degrees. It’s a fixed value used to convert mils to degrees.

Step 4: Example Calculation

Let’s say you want to convert 5 mils to degrees. Using the formula:

Degrees = (5 mils × 0.05625) = 0.28125°

Step 5: Final Outcome

The converter then displays the result, telling you that 5 mils is equivalent to 0.28125 degrees.

And that’s how you convert mils to degrees using the calculator!
