Why Convert Degrees to Radians?

Converting between degrees (°) and radians (rad) is one of the most common angle conversions. Whether for engineering, cooking, travel, or science, knowing how to quickly convert ° to rad saves time and prevents errors.

Angle conversions between ° and rad are fundamental in geometry, astronomy, and navigation. Engineers and architects convert between degrees and radians for structural calculations and trigonometric functions. In astronomy, precise angle measurements are needed to track celestial bodies and calculate distances in space. Navigational tools, from simple compasses to complex GPS systems, rely on accurate angular data to plot courses. A small error in angle conversion can lead to significant deviations over long distances, causing bridges to misalign or ships to miss their destinations.

How to Convert Degrees to Radians

To convert degrees to radians, use the following formula:

rad = ° × 0.01745329252

Example: 1 ° = 0.01745329252 rad

For example, 5 ° = 0.0872664626 rad, 10 ° = 0.1745329252 rad, and 100 ° = 1.745329252 rad. For larger values, 1000 ° = 17.45329252 rad. Conversely, 1 rad = 57.29577951 °. Our calculator above performs this conversion instantly with full precision — no rounding errors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Radians vs Degrees: calculators often default to Radians; check mode.
Gradians: a Gradian is not a Degree (100 grads = 90 degrees).
Modulus 360: 370 degrees is physically same as 10 degrees, but mathematically distinct.

Pro Tips

Carpentry: 45 degrees is the classic miter cut for corners.
Triangles: Angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.
Sun angle: Impacts solar panel efficiency; tilt towards equator.

What is a Degree?

A measurement of plane angle, 1/360 of a full rotation.

Geometry and navigation.

What is a Radian?

The standard SI unit of angular measure. 1 rad ≈ 57.3 degrees.

Mathematics and physics.

Frequently Asked Questions
