Degree

°

Definition

Degree is a unit of measurement for angles, equal to 1/360 of a full rotation. It is the most commonly used unit for measuring angles in everyday applications, mathematics, and engineering.

History/Origin

The degree was first used by ancient Babylonian astronomers around 2000 BCE. They divided a circle into 360 parts, likely because 360 has many divisors and is close to the number of days in a year.

Current Use

Degrees are used in navigation, construction, astronomy, mathematics, engineering, surveying, and many other fields where angle measurement is required.
