Minutes of Arc to Radians Converter

To convert minutes of arc to radians, simply multiply the angle by the conversion ratio 0.000291 radians/minute of arc, yielding the formula: radians = minutes of arc × 0.000291.

How to Convert Minutes of Arc to Radians

1. Understand the Interface: Imagine you’re using a conversion tool with two main inputs:
   • Minute of Arc Value: You input the angle in minutes of arc that you want to convert into radians.
   • Swap Units Option: This allows you to switch between converting from minutes of arc to radians or vice versa.
2. Conversion Formula: To convert minutes of arc to radians, follow this simple formula:

   Radians = Minutes of Arc × 0.000291

   This means that to get the angle in radians, you multiply the angle in minutes of arc by 0.000291.

3. Understanding the Units:
   • Minute of Arc: It’s a unit of angle, equal to 1/60th of a degree or 1/21,600 of a circle. It’s also equivalent to π/10,800 radians.
   • Radian: This is the SI unit for measuring angles, representing the length of an arc divided by the radius of the circle or arc. One radian is approximately 57.29578 degrees.
4. Example Calculation: Let’s say you want to convert 5,000 minutes of arc to radians. You can use the formula:

   Radians = (5,000 × 0.000291) = 1.454441 rad

   So, 5,000 minutes of arc is approximately equal to 1.454441 radians.
