About These Units
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."
Compass Point (point)
A compass point is 1/32 of a circle or 11.25°. The 32-point compass includes cardinal (N, E, S, W), intercardinal (NE, SE, SW, NW), and secondary-intercardinal points. Traditional maritime navigation uses compass points. "Boxing the compass" means naming all 32 points in order.
