Convert binary degree to second (astronomy)
Selected category: angle.
Definition and details for binary degree:
Binary degree, also known as the binary radian, or brad, is 1/256 of a full circle or 1/2 quarter point. It is used in computing so that an angle can be efficiently represented in a single byte.
Definition and details for second (astronomy):
Second (" or s or sec) is also a unit of angle measurement used in astronomy to count longitude. Astronomers divide the equator into 24 hours instead of 360 degrees and measure the right ascension, which is the longitude coordinate for positions in the sky, in units of time. This makes 1 second of longitude equal to 15 arcseconds.
