§02The Formula

How it’s calculated

1 degree = 3600 arcseconds → value_in_arcsecond = value_in_degree × 3600

Where

value_in_degree
The number of degrees you start with (the value you enter above)
value_in_arcsecond
The equivalent number of arcseconds (the result)
factor
The exact conversion ratio — 3600 — anchored to SI definitions, not rounded
§03Practical Example

Step-by-step walkthrough

Scenario

Convert 5 degrees to arcseconds.

  1. 01Look up the SI factors: 1 degree = 0.017453292519943295 base units, 1 arcsecond = 0.00000484813681109536 base units.
  2. 02Divide to get the conversion ratio: 0.017453292519943295 / 0.00000484813681109536 = 3600.
  3. 03Multiply by the quantity: 5 × 3600 = 18000.
  4. 04So 5 degrees = 18000 arcseconds.
