Use this Gon to Arcsecond converter to change a value from Gon into Arcsecond. Enter the measurement, review the result, and use the conversion when comparing values or checking a formula.
This conversion is useful when a measurement is recorded in Gon but a report, specification, or calculation requires Arcsecond. The page includes the unit definitions, a worked example, and a conversion table for related units.
Use the result as a reference and check the displayed precision before copying it into technical or scientific work. The last digits may be rounded for readability.
Gon and Arcsecond describe the same angle measurement in different units. Converting between them makes values easier to compare when different unit systems are used.
How to convert Gon to Arcsecond (gon to arcsec)
To convert Gon to Arcsecond, multiply by 3240. The formula is Gon × 3240 = Arcsecond. See the example below.
1 Gon = 1 × 3240 = 3240 Arcseconds
Gon is a unit of angular measurement. Gon is also known as gradian. One gon is equal to 1400 of a turn and 910 of a degree. In the right angle, we have around 100 gon which means a full turn is equal to 400 gradians. The symbol for Gon is gon.
Arcsec also known as arc second or second arc is a unit of angular measurement. One second of arc is equal to 1/60 of an arcminute, 1/3600 of a degree, 1/296000 of a turn. That means one full circle will have 1296000 arcseconds. Similar to arcmin, arcsec was originated in Babylonian astronomy as sexagesimal subdivisions of the degree. It is primarily used in fields where most of the work involves working with small angles such as optometry, ophthalmology, and astronomy. In astronomy related work, it is used for comparison of angular diameter of Moon, Sun, and planets. Apart from that, it is also used in cartography and navigation. The symbol for Arcsecond is arcsec.
