Selected category: angle.
Definition and details for minute (astronomy):
Minute (′ or m) is also a unit of angular measure used in astronomy. Astronomers divide the equator into 24 hours instead of 360 degrees and measure the right ascension in unit of time. This makes 1 minute of right ascension equal to 15 arcminutes.
Definition and details for point:
Point (pt) is also a unit of angle measurement, used in navigation and it is equal to 1/32 of a circle, or 11° 15′, or pi/16 radians. On a compass, each right angle is divided in 8 points and each point can be subdivided in 4 quarter points. So 1 turn equals to 128 quarter-points. This is a binary navigation system of units (turn,point,quarter-point).
