What is Milliradian?

The milliradian is one-thousandth of a radian, approximately 0.0573 degrees. It is widely used in military and shooting applications, where NATO standard scopes use milliradians for angular measurement. One mrad subtends approximately one meter at a distance of 1,000 meters, making range estimation intuitive. Laser beam divergence and optical aberrations are also often specified in milliradians.

What is Degree?

The degree is the most commonly used unit of angle, with one full rotation divided into 360 degrees. This system is believed to originate from ancient Babylonian astronomy, where a year of roughly 360 days suggested dividing a circle into 360 parts. Degrees are used everywhere in daily life: compass bearings, slopes, architecture, and geometry. A right angle is 90 degrees, a straight angle is 180 degrees, and a full rotation is 360 degrees.
