DMS para graus decimais
Decimal Degrees = Degrees + (Minutes / 60) + (Seconds / 3600)
Onde:
Degrees
is the whole degree valueMinutes
varia de 0 a 59Seconds
ranges from 0 to 59.999...Decimal Degrees
is the resulting angle in decimal form
Radians to DMS
Decimal Degrees = Radians × (180 / π)
Then apply Decimal Degrees to DMS conversion.
DMS to Radians
Decimal Degrees = Degrees + (Minutes / 60) + (Seconds / 3600)
Radians = Decimal Degrees × (π / 180)
Onde:
π (pi)
é aproximadamente 3.14159265359Radians
is the angle in radian form
Gradians to DMS
Decimal Degrees = Gradians × (9 / 10)
Then apply Decimal Degrees to DMS conversion.
DMS to Gradians
Decimal Degrees = Degrees + (Minutes / 60) + (Seconds / 3600)
Gradians = Decimal Degrees × (10 / 9)
Onde:
Gradians
is the angle in gradian form (400 gradians in a full circle)
Tabela de conversão para referência rápida
Tipo de medição | Fórmula | Exemplo |
---|---|---|
Decimal to DMS | Degrees = Floor(Decimal) Minutes = Floor((Decimal - Degrees) × 60) Seconds = ((Decimal - Degrees) × 60 - Minutes) × 60 | 45.75° = 45° 45' 00" |
DMS to Decimal | Graus decimais = Graus + (Minutos / 60) + (Segundos / 3600) | 45° 45' 00" = 45.75° |
Radians to DMS | Decimal Degrees = Radians × (180 / π) | 1 rad = 57.2958° |
DMS to Radians | Radianos = Graus Decimais × (π / 180) | 180° = π rad |
Gradians to DMS | Decimal Degrees = Gradians × (9 / 10) | 100 grad = 90° |
DMS to Gradians | Gradians = Decimal Degrees × (10 / 9) | 90° = 100 grad |
Example of DMS Calculator
Convert 48.2564° to DMS
Degrees = Floor(48.2564) = 48°
Minutes = Floor((48.2564 - 48) × 60) = 15'
Seconds = ((48.2564 - 48) × 60 - 15) × 60 = 23.04"
Result: 48° 15' 23.04"
Perguntas frequentes mais comuns
DMS notation is commonly used in navigation, surveying, and astronomy because it provides a more precise and understandable format for angles, particularly when measuring land or celestial bodies.
The conversion is highly accurate as long as all calculations maintain precision up to at least six decimal places, which is standard for scientific applications.
Yes, the DMS Calculator can convert GPS coordinates between DMS and Decimal Degrees formats, which is essential for mapping and navigation applications.
