What are Sextants and Arcseconds?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

How to Convert Sextants to Arcseconds

  1. Understand the relationship between units:
    • 1 circle = 6 sextants
    • 1 circle = 360 degrees
    • 1 degree = 60 arcminutes
    • 1 arcminute = 60 arcseconds
  2. Combine these relationships:
    • 1 degree = 60 arcminutes × 60 arcseconds per arcminute
    • 1 degree = 3600 arcseconds
    • 1 sextant = (360 degrees × 3600 arcseconds per degree) ÷ 6
    • 1 sextant = 216000 arcseconds
  3. Convert sextants to arcseconds:
    • To convert sextants to arcseconds, multiply the number of sextants by 216000.
    • arcseconds = sextants × 216000

Example

  • Convert 3 sextants to arcseconds:
    • arcseconds = 3 sextants × 216000
    • arcseconds = 648000

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