Convert degrees to sextant
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.
Sextant
A sextant as a unit of angle is equal to 60 degrees or 1/6 of a full circle (π/3 radians). The name derives from the Latin sextans (a sixth part). The navigational instrument of the same name measures angles up to 120° and is used to determine geographic position by measuring the angle between celestial objects and the horizon.
