How do I convert degrees to arc seconds?

An arcsecond (abbreviated as arcsec and expressed with a symbol ″) is a unit of measurement for angles, often used in astronomy, optics, and navigation. Arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree and 1/60 of an arcminute.

To convert degrees to arcsec, you can use the following formula:

arcseconds = degree × 3600

For example, if you're wondering how many arc seconds are 30 degrees, you can perform the following calculations for converting deg to arc sec:

arcseconds = 30 × 3600 = 108,000″

You can also avoid performing calculations by hand and trust the degrees to arcseconds calculator to do the work for you!
