Convert arcminute to degrees
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.
Degree
A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle, defined so that a full rotation is 360 degrees.
It is not an SI unit, as the SI unit of angular measure is the radian, but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit.[4] Because a full rotation equals 2π radians, one degree is equivalent to π/180 radians.
