In this article I will show you how to convert 1 arcseconds into gradians. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 1 arcsec to grad. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Arcseconds to Gradians
A arcsecond is smaller than a gradian. I know that a arcsec is smaller than a grad because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 1 arcseconds into gradians, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for arcsec to grad is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 1 arcsec to grad by multiplying 0.00030864222222222
by the number of arcseconds we have, which is 1.
So, the answer to the question "what is 1 arcseconds in gradians?" is 0.00030864222222222 grad.

Best Conversion Unit for 1 arcsec
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 1 arcsec.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 1 arcsec is arcseconds and the amount is 1 arcsec.
