Gradian (gon)
The gradian divides a right angle into 100 parts and is used in some surveying and engineering tasks.
History: the gradian was introduced in France as a decimal angular measure where a right angle equals 100 gradians.
Quickly convert gradians to arcseconds without lookup tables or manual math.
This page is focused on converting gradians to arcseconds. Type a number into the first field and the result appears immediately in the second field.
Example: 1 gon = 3240 ″. Conversion formula: result = value × 0.015707963267949 / 4.8481368110954E-6.
Use this converter for everyday calculations, study notes, engineering checks, and quick value verification without installing a separate app.

History: the gradian was introduced in France as a decimal angular measure where a right angle equals 100 gradians.
The arcsecond equals 1/60 of an arcminute and is needed for very small angles.
History: the arcsecond arose as a further sexagesimal division of the arcminute for precise astronomy.
Enter a value in the Gradian field. The converter applies the formula "result = value × 0.015707963267949 / 4.8481368110954E-6" and immediately shows the result in arcseconds.
