Selected category: angle.
Definition and details for sign:
Sign is an informal unit of angle measurement used in astrology. Astrologers divide the Sun's annual path through the sky (Zodiac) into 12 parts called signs and each sign corresponds one of the classic twelve constellations through which the Sun passes. So 1 sign is equal to 1/12 circle, or 30 degrees.
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.
Swap, do a second (astronomy) to sign conversion.
