Unit Story
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.
Degree
A degree divides a full turn into 360 parts. It remains the everyday angle unit for navigation, construction, maps, and compass headings.
