Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the arcsecond (arcsec). One arcsecond is 1/3600 degree.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the degree (deg). A degree is pi/180 radians.
How do I convert arcsecond to degree?
Multiply the arcsecond value by 0.000278. For example, 10 arcsec × 0.000278 = 0.002778 deg.
Is the arcsecond to degree conversion exact?
Yes. The relationship between these units is a fixed mathematical or SI-defined ratio, so the conversion factor is exact rather than a measured approximation.
Where is this conversion commonly used?
It's used whenever a value expressed in arcsecond needs to be compared with, or reported in, degree, such as in engineering, scientific, or everyday calculations.
Can I convert degree back to arcsecond?
Yes. Multiply the degree value by 3600 to get arcsecond.

About this conversion
This page converts arcsecond (arcsec) to degree (deg) within the angle converter.
One arcsecond is 1/3600 degree. A degree is pi/180 radians.
The formula is degree = arcsecond × 0.000278, based on each unit's fixed relationship to the angle converter's base unit.
The conversion is exact, since it relies on a fixed numerical ratio between the two units rather than a measured or approximate value.
