How to Convert Minutes of Arc to Circles
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in minutes of arc to a measurement in circles, divide the angle by the following conversion ratio: 21,600 minutes of arc/circle.
Since one circle is equal to 21,600 minutes of arc, you can use this simple formula to convert:
circles = minutes of arc ÷ 21,600
The angle in circles is equal to the angle in minutes of arc divided by 21,600.
Minutes of arc and circles are both units used to measure angle. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Minute of Arc?
The minute of arc is a unit of angle equal to 1/60th of one degree, or 1/21,600 of a circle. The minute of arc is also equal to π/10,800 radians.
A minute of arc is sometimes also referred to as an arc minute, arcminute, or minute arc. Minutes of arc can be abbreviated as arcmin, and are also sometimes abbreviated as MOA or amin. For example, 1 minute of arc can be written as 1 arcmin, 1 MOA, or 1 amin.
The minute of arc is most commonly represented using the prime (′), although the single-quote is commonly used. For instance, 1 minute of is most commonly expressed as 1′.
