In this article I will show you how to convert 63 degrees into arcseconds. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 63 deg to arcsec. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Degrees to Arcseconds
A degree is greater than a arcsecond. I know that a deg is greater than a arcsec 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 63 degrees into arcseconds, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for deg to arcsec is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 63 deg to arcsec by multiplying 3599.9971200023 by the number of degrees we have, which is 63.
So, the answer to the question "what is 63 degrees in arcseconds?" is 226799.81856015 arcsec.

Best Conversion Unit for 63 deg
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 63 deg.
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 63 deg is radians and the amount is 1.0995570355942 rad.
