How to Use This Calculator

Instructions:

  1. Enter your time measurements in hours, minutes, and seconds.
  2. Click the "Convert" button to calculate the equivalent arc measurement.
  3. Use the "Clear" button to reset all fields.

Formula Used:

  • • 1 day = 24 hours = 360°
  • • 60 minutes = 1 hour = 15°
  • • 4 minutes = 1° = 60′
  • • 60 seconds = 1′ = 15″

Example:

Converting 11 hours 42 minutes 39 seconds:

  • • 11 hours × 15° = 165°
  • • 42 minutes × 15° / 60 = 10° 30′
  • • 39 seconds × 15 / 60 = 9′ 45″
  • • Result: 175° 39′ 45″

Common Uses:

  • • Astronomy: Converting time to right ascension
  • • Navigation: Converting time measurements to angular distance
  • • Celestial mechanics: Working with hour angles
