Unit History
About gradian
The gradian divides a full circle into 400 equal parts, making a right angle exactly 100 grad. Developed during the French Revolution as part of the metric system, gradians are used in some surveying and engineering contexts, particularly in parts of Europe.
About degree
Degrees are the most familiar unit for measuring angles, with a full circle divided into 360°. Originating from ancient Babylonian astronomy, degrees remain the standard in geometry, navigation, and everyday life for describing turns and directions.
