What is Radian?

The radian is the SI unit of angle, defined as the angle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle. One radian is approximately 57.296 degrees, and a full circle is 2 pi radians. Radians are the standard angular unit in mathematics, physics, and engineering because calculus formulas (such as the derivative of sine being cosine) require radian measure. Programming language math libraries also use radians by default.

What is Arcminute?

The arcminute is one-sixtieth of a degree, symbolized by a prime mark. In astronomy, the apparent diameter of the full Moon is about 31 arcminutes. The definition of 20/20 vision (visual acuity 1.0) is based on the ability to resolve details of one arcminute. Geographic coordinates are often expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds, where one arcminute of latitude corresponds to approximately 1.852 km (one nautical mile) on Earth's surface.
