Unit Story
Arcminute
An arcminute is one sixtieth of a degree. Astronomy, navigation, optics, and precision aiming use it when one degree is too coarse.
Radian
A radian links an angle directly to a circle: the arc length equals the radius. That natural relationship makes radians central to mathematics and engineering.
