Convert sextant to quadrant
Please provide values below to convert sextant [None] to quadrant [None], or Convert quadrant to sextant.
1 None = 0.666666666667 None. To convert sextant to quadrant, multiply the value by 0.666666666667; to go the other way, divide by it (1 None = 1.5 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 = 0.666666666667 None
- 1 None = 1.5 None
- 10 None = 6.66666666667 None
- 100 None = 66.6666666667 None
How to Convert Sextant to Quadrant
1 None = 0.666666666666667 None
Example: convert 15 None to None:
15 None = 15 × 0.666666666666667 None = 10 None

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.
Quadrant
A quadrant is one of the four equal parts into which a circle is divided by its diameter, often used to measure angles in degrees from 0° to 90° within each part.
History/Origin
The concept of quadrants originates from ancient geometry and astronomy, where dividing circles into four parts helped in navigation and celestial observations. The term has been used since the 16th century in mathematical and navigational contexts.
Current Use
Today, quadrants are primarily used in mathematics, engineering, and navigation to measure and describe angles, especially in coordinate systems and trigonometry, without a specific unit symbol.
