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.
Gon
A gon, also known as a grad, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used primarily in surveying and engineering.
History/Origin
The gon was introduced in France during the 19th century as part of the metric system to provide a more decimal-friendly division of angles, replacing traditional units like degrees and radians in certain applications.
Current Use
Gons are mainly used in surveying, cartography, and some engineering fields, especially in countries that adopted the metric system, for precise angle measurements and calculations.
