1 Octant in Arcseconds

How many Arcseconds are in 1 Octant?

The answer is 1 Octant is equal to 162000 Arcseconds and that means we can also write it as 1 Octant = 162000 Arcseconds. Feel free to use our online unit conversion calculator to convert the unit from Octant to Arcsecond. Just simply enter value 1 in Octant and see the result in Arcsecond. You can also Convert 2 Octants to Arcseconds

How to Convert 1 Octant to Arcsecond (1 octant to arcsec)

By using our Octant to Arcsecond conversion tool, you know that one Octant is equivalent to 162000 Arcsecond. Hence, to convert Octant to Arcsecond, we just need to multiply the number by 162000. We are going to use very simple Octant to Arcsecond conversion formula for that. Pleas see the calculation example given below.

What is Octant Unit of Measure?

Octant is a unit of angular measurement. One octant is equal to 45 degrees. It measures an angle up to 90 degrees with the help of 45 degree arc and reflecting optics which basically doubles the angle.

What is the symbol of Octant?

The symbol of Octant is octant. This means you can also write one Octant as 1 octant.

What is Arcsecond Unit of Measure?

Arcsec also known as arc second or second arc is a unit of angular measurement. One second of arc is equal to 1/60 of an arcminute, 1/3600 of a degree, 1/296000 of a turn. That means one full circle will have 1296000 arcseconds. Similar to arcmin, arcsec was originated in Babylonian astronomy as sexagesimal subdivisions of the degree. It is primarily used in fields where most of the work involves working with small angles such as optometry, ophthalmology, and astronomy. In astronomy related work, it is used for comparison of angular diameter of Moon, Sun, and planets. Apart from that, it is also used in cartography and navigation.

What is the symbol of Arcsecond?

The symbol of Arcsecond is arcsec. This means you can also write one Arcsecond as 1 arcsec.
