About These Units
Degree (°)
A degree (°) is 1/360 of a full rotation, the most widely used angle unit. Degrees measure geographic coordinates, temperature, slopes, and rotations. A right angle is 90°, straight angle is 180°, full circle is 360°. Each degree contains 60 arcminutes.
Turn (turn)
A turn (revolution, cycle, or rotation) is one complete 360° rotation. Turns simplify rotational calculations: 0.5 turns = 180°, 0.25 turns = 90°. Used in engineering, dance choreography, and describing rotational motion. Also called "full rotation" or "cycle."
