Degrees to Arcseconds Converter
How to convert degrees to arcseconds
arcseconds = degrees × 3,600
To convert degrees to arcseconds, multiply the number of degrees by 3,600.
1° = 3,600″
Examples
- A right angle: 90° × 3,600 = 324,000″
- A full turn: 360° × 3,600 = 1,296,000″
Good to know
One degree is exactly 3600 arcseconds. Coordinates written as degrees, minutes and seconds convert to decimal degrees by dividing the seconds by 3600 and the minutes by 60.
