About These Units
Quadrant (quadrant)
A quadrant is 1/4 of a circle or 90°, representing a right angle. Quadrants divide the coordinate plane and compass into four sections: NE, SE, SW, NW. Astronomical quadrants were historical instruments for measuring celestial angles up to 90°.
Arcsecond (″)
An arcsecond (″) is 1/60 of an arcminute or 1/3600 of a degree. Arcseconds measure stellar positions, telescope resolution, and atmospheric seeing. The Hubble Space Telescope resolves about 0.05 arcseconds. GPS accuracy is measured in arcseconds.
