What this tool does
Convert revolutions (turns) to degrees, radians, gradians, milliradians, arcminutes and arcseconds. Type an amount in turns (revolutions), choose the units, and the tool converts it to degrees. It offers 7 angle units and also shows the same amount in the others.
Inputs
- Value: A number.
- From: Choose one: Turn (revolution), Degree, Radian, Gradian (gon), Milliradian, Arcminute, Arcsecond. Starts as Turn (revolution).
- To: Choose one of the same 7 units as "From". Starts as Degree.
How to use
- Enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
- Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.
Worked examples
Conversions from turns (revolutions) to degrees:
- 1 rev = 360°
- 5 rev = 1,800°
- 10 rev = 3,600°
- 50 rev = 18,000°
- 100 rev = 36,000°
Multiply the number of turns (revolutions) by 360 to get degrees. Both units are exact definitions, so 360 is the exact factor: 1 rev = 360°.
Sources: Turn (revolution): NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B.8. Degree: SI Brochure, 9th edition (2019), Table 8.
Limitations
- Converts the size of an angle between units only. It does not work out angles from side lengths or slopes.
- Turn and revolution are the same unit here: one full circle.
FAQs
- Q: How do I convert turns (revolutions) to degrees?
- A: Enter the value, choose turn as the From unit and degree as the To unit. The result appears along with the same angle in the other listed units. To go the other way, swap the two units.
- Q: How many degrees and radians are in one revolution?
- A: One revolution (one turn) is 360 degrees, 400 gradians, or 2 pi radians, about 6.28319 radians.
- Q: Can I convert the other way?
- A: Yes. Swap the From and To units to convert degrees to turns (revolutions).
