Octant 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 Octant to Arcsecond (octant to arcsec)
To convert Octant to Arcsecond, multiply by 162000. The formula is Octant × 162000 = Arcsecond. See the example below.
1 Octant = 1 × 162000 = 162000 Arcseconds
Octant is a unit of angular measurement. One octant is equal to 45 degrees. It measures an angle up to 90 degrees with the help of 45 degree arc and reflecting optics which basically doubles the angle. The symbol for Octant is octant.
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.
