Turn
A turn is a unit of angular measurement representing a full rotation of 360 degrees or 2Ο radians.
History/Origin
The concept of a turn as a measure of rotation dates back to ancient civilizations that divided circles into parts for navigation and astronomy. It has been standardized in modern times as a convenient way to express rotations, especially in engineering and physics.
Current Use
The turn is used in various fields such as engineering, robotics, and navigation to describe the amount of rotation or angular displacement, often in contexts where a full rotation is relevant, such as in gear ratios, steering, and angular measurements.
Grad
A grad, also known as a gon, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, or 0.9 degrees.
History/Origin
The grad was introduced in the 19th century as part of the metric system for surveying and military purposes, primarily used in Europe. It was designed to simplify calculations related to angles and bearings.
Current Use
Today, the grad is used mainly in surveying, cartography, and military applications in some countries. It is also employed in certain scientific and engineering contexts where a decimal-based angular unit is preferred.
