angular measure

It can even be represented in other ways, such as by an angular measure.

The radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics.

Similarly, the practical unit of angular measure is the degree, of which there are 360 in a circle.

Degree: A unit of angular measure: A circle is divided into 360 degrees, represented by the symbol.

He had the radian in everything but name, and he recognized its naturalness as a unit of angular measure.

Angular measure achieves linearity by referencing circular motion but not true position (which spread does).

One can add or subtract any number of full turns to either angular measure without changing the angles themselves, and therefore without changing the point.

For this reason, astrometry characterises the transverse motions of stars in angular measure (e.g. arcsec per year) rather than in km/sec or equivalent.

Binary Angular Measure A filter whose frequencies are between given upper and lower cutoff values, while substantially attenuating all frequencies outside these values (this band).

Sometimes lattice distances are specified in kilometers rather than angular measure, especially for finer grains, so a project like VEMAP is often referred to as 50 km grain.

Because these ratios are approximately the same, the Sun and the Moon as seen from Earth appear to be approximately the same size: about 0.5 degree of arc in angular measure.

Coincidentally, angular measure also uses these sexagesimal units; in that field, it is the degree that is subdivided into minutes and seconds, while in time, it is the hour.

This variety, in combination with the complexity of angular measure described above and the intrinsic uncertainty of geodetically derived units, mitigated against the extant definitions in favor of a simple unit of pure length.

This list includes the hour and minute, the angular measures (degree, minute and second of arc) and the historic [non-coherent] metric units, the litre, tonne and hectare (originally agreed by the CGPM in 1879)

The beam divergence of an electromagnetic beam is an angular measure of the increase in beam diameter or radius with distance from the optical aperture or antenna aperture from which the electromagnetic beam emerges.

The name of the system is derived from the fact that the angular measure of a complete sphere (solid angle) is 4 π steradians, while the angular measure of a complete circle is 360 degrees; hence System/4 Pi and System/360.
