Minute and second of arc: History, Applications & Measurement

A minute of arc, arcminute (abbreviated as arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to ⁠1/60⁠ of a degree. Since one degree is ⁠1/360⁠ of a turn, or complete rotation, one arcminute is ⁠1/21600⁠ of a turn. The nautical mile (nmi) was originally defined as the arc length of a minute of latitude on…
