Convert circle to sextant
Please provide values below to convert circle [None] to sextant [None], or Convert sextant to circle.
1 None = 6 None. To convert circle to sextant, multiply the value by 6; to go the other way, divide by it (1 None = 0.166666666667 None). Both units measure angle and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 None = 6 None
- 1 None = 0.166666666667 None
- 10 None = 60 None
- 100 None = 600 None
How to Convert Circle to Sextant
1 None = 6 None
Example: convert 15 None to None:
15 None = 15 × 6 None = 90 None

Circle
A circle is a geometric shape consisting of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed center point.
History/Origin
The concept of the circle dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks, who studied its properties and used it in astronomy, architecture, and mathematics. The Greek mathematician Euclid formalized many properties of the circle in his works.
Current Use
In the context of angle measurement, a circle is used as the basis for defining degrees, with 360 degrees representing a full rotation. It is fundamental in fields like geometry, engineering, and navigation for measuring angles and designing circular objects.
Sextant
A sextant is a unit of angular measurement used primarily in navigation and astronomy, equal to 60 arcminutes or one degree.
History/Origin
The sextant was developed in the 18th century as a navigational instrument to measure the angle between celestial objects and the horizon, greatly improving maritime navigation accuracy.
Current Use
Today, the sextant is mainly used for educational purposes, historical demonstrations, and by navigators as a backup tool in celestial navigation.
