What are Arcseconds and Sextants?

  1. Arcseconds:
    • Arcseconds are a unit of angular measurement.
    • One arcsecond represents 1/3600 of a degree.
    • They are also referred to as seconds of arc.
  2. Sextants:
    • Sextants are a unit of angular measurement.
    • One sextant represents one-sixth of a full circle.
    • There are 6 sextants in a full circle, each representing 60 degrees.

How to Convert Arcseconds to Sextants

  1. Understand the relationship between units:
    • 1 circle = 360 degrees
    • 1 degree = 3600 arcseconds
    • 1 circle = 6 sextants
  2. Combine these relationships:
    • 1 sextant = 360 ÷ 6 degrees
    • 1 sextant = 60 degrees
    • 1 sextant = 60 degrees × 3600 arcseconds per degree
  3. Calculate the total number of arcseconds in one sextant:
    • 1 sextant = 60 × 3600 arcseconds
    • 1 sextant = 216,000 arcseconds
  4. Convert arcseconds to sextants:
    • To convert from arcseconds to sextants, you divide the number of arcseconds by 216,000.
    • sextants = arcseconds ÷ 216,000

Example

  • Convert 432,000 arcseconds to sextants:
    • sextants = 432,000 arcseconds ÷ 216,000
    • sextants = 2

That’s it! You now know how to convert arcseconds to sextants.
