Grad

Definition

Grad (also called gon) is a unit of angle measurement where a full circle is divided into 400 grads instead of 360 degrees. One grad equals 0.9 degrees.

History/Origin

The grad was introduced in France during the French Revolution as part of the metric system. It was designed to provide a decimal-based angular measurement system.

Current Use

Grads are used in surveying, some engineering applications, and in countries that adopted the metric system for angular measurements.
