Formula and method
The rad To deg Converter converts values between Radian (rad) and Degree (deg).
Conversion factor: 1 Radian (rad) = 57.29578 Degree (deg).
Angular unit conversions translate planar rotation between circular degrees, mathematical radians, gradians, and arc subdivisions.
Examples
- Convert rad to deg instantly.
- Swap units or choose another unit from the same group.
- Example: 1 rad converts to 57.2958 deg.
- Angles are measured in degrees (°) for everyday geometry, navigation, and construction; radians (rad) for mathematics and programming (Math.sin/cos require radians); gradians (grad/gon) for surveying (400 grad = full circle); and arcminutes/arcseconds for astronomy and GPS precision.
Understanding Radian to Degree Conversion
Converting values from Radian (rad) to Degree (deg) is a unit transformation in the angle measurement system. 1 Radian (rad) equals exactly 57.29578 Degree (deg).
Real-world applications: 1 rad ≈ 57.2958°. π rad = 180°. 2π rad = 360°. Physics and engineering formulas always use radians (angular velocity ω = rad/s, angular acceleration = rad/s²). When displaying computed rotation angles to end users, convert from radians to the more intuitive degrees.
When this conversion matters: Angles are measured in degrees (°) for everyday geometry, navigation, and construction; radians (rad) for mathematics and programming (Math.sin/cos require radians); gradians (grad/gon) for surveying (400 grad = full circle); and arcminutes/arcseconds for astronomy and GPS precision.
Precision & standards: Angular unit conversions translate planar rotation between circular degrees, mathematical radians, gradians, and arc subdivisions. SpecWhale uses official SI and imperial conversion factors, computed with 64-bit IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any external server.
