arcseconds to gradians | Exact Decimal + Formula
1 Arcsecond = 0.000309 Gradian
One gradian equals exactly 3,240 arcseconds — a fixed ratio you can memorize. Real-world use: astronomical measurements of star positions and telescope resolution. This page expresses those values in gradians, which is used for surveying and some european engineering fields. Use the calculator above, then check the reference table for common values from 0.001 to 1000.
About Arcsecond and Gradian
Arcsecond (arcsec)
An arcsecond is 1/3,600 of a degree.
Where it's used: Astronomical measurements of star positions and telescope resolution.
Gradian (grad)
A gradian divides a right angle into 100 grads, so a full circle is 400 grads.
Where it's used: Surveying and some European engineering fields.
