About Arcminute

Definition: The arcminute (symbol: ′) is one-sixtieth of a degree, used for precise angular measurements in astronomy and navigation.

History: Subdivision of degree based on sexagesimal system, essential for precise celestial navigation and astronomical observations.

Current Use: Standard in astronomy, navigation, surveying, and applications requiring sub-degree angular precision.

Examples: Star positions: precise coordinates, telescope pointing: 1-10′ accuracy, GPS: position precision, surveying: property lines

About Turn

Definition: The turn (symbol: tr) represents one complete rotation or revolution, equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.

History: Natural unit representing complete rotational motion, used in mechanical systems and rotational applications.

Current Use: Used for describing rotational speed, mechanical rotations, and complete angular motions in engineering.

Examples: Motor rotations: RPM (revolutions per minute), mechanical systems: gear ratios, astronomy: planetary rotations
