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!

How does the degrees to seconds converter work?

You're probably curious how the degrees to arcseconds calculator works. It is very straightforward!

You must enter the value in degrees, and the tool will convert your value from degrees to arc seconds. We default set this converter to perform conversions between degrees to arcseconds (deg to arc sec). Still, you can also use the calculator to convert any other angular measurements, by changing the units in the Other angle units field!
