In this article I will show you how to convert 720 arcseconds into gradians. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 720 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 720 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 720 arcsec to grad by multiplying 0.00030864222222222 by the number of arcseconds we have, which is 720.
So, the answer to the question "what is 720 arcseconds in gradians?" is 0.2222224 grad.
