Convert turn to sextant
Please provide values below to convert turn [None] to sextant [None], or Convert sextant to turn.
1 None = 6 None. To convert turn 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 Turn to Sextant
1 None = 6 None
Example: convert 15 None to None:
15 None = 15 × 6 None = 90 None

Turn
A turn is a unit of angular measurement representing a full rotation of 360 degrees or 2π radians.
History/Origin
The concept of a turn as a measure of rotation dates back to ancient civilizations that divided circles into parts for navigation and astronomy. It has been standardized in modern times as a convenient way to express rotations, especially in engineering and physics.
Current Use
The turn is used in various fields such as engineering, robotics, and navigation to describe the amount of rotation or angular displacement, often in contexts where a full rotation is relevant, such as in gear ratios, steering, and angular measurements.
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.
