Convert arcminute to arcsecond
Arcminute
A minute of arc (arcminute, arcmin; symbol: ′) is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60 of one degree of arc. Since one degree is 1/360 of a circle, one arcminute is 1/21600 of a circle. It is used in astronomy, navigation, cartography, and optometry (for visual acuity). The nautical mile was historically defined as one arcminute of latitude.
Arcsecond
A second of arc (arcsecond, arcsec; symbol: ″) is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60 of a minute of arc or 1/3600 of a degree. It is used in astronomy to measure the apparent diameter of celestial objects, and in geodesy and precision engineering. The Hubble Space Telescope can resolve details as small as 0.05 arcseconds.
