How to Convert Degrees to Minutes - ALIGNMENT TIPS

Was that Liam Neeson talking? He certainly has a unique set of skills.

I love learning cool new shit like that!

I thought radians were weird but now there's minutes wtf

[KasamS]

I never knew this existed but its very simple to understand, sorta like measuring in mm instead of cm as its more accurate

Anyone familiar with shooting, this is what a minute of angle is or MOA. Take 1 degree which is a thin slice of pizza. Slice that into 60 pieces and each piece is one minute. Pizza and guns and now you understand minutes of angle. Next class will be miliradians....

So I just started optometry school and they do degrees in minutes of arc which I never heard of, and of all the videos out there this explained it the best....thank you!

Oh man 6 videos in roughly 24 hours I love this new layout so much

[cesarcintron]

Wow spoken from a genius dumbing it down thank you so much now I know when you're talking about minutes and degrees. 💣💣 THIS IS THE BOMB💣💣

[dickycat]

Now THESE are the tips I wanna see! MIND BLOWN!!

[crowgora]

I love videos like this. I think Motor Trend uses to have a series like this and I loved watching it.

You can even take it a step further and brake down each minute the same way and get seconds. An example of how it looks written: 90° 15’ 30”

I feel like hoonigan can teach me how to Make a Mean Mexican Pizza!

I cleared my throat about four times watching this.

I get it. It just seems an arbitrary when we now have micrometers. This comes from a time when accuracy had to be managed mechanically but lacked the precision. We just don't need it anymore.

I thought people learn this at school, but I guess I'm wrong. Most probably depends where you live, I'm from Moldova (Europe)

[Dungfunnel]

In engineering you use degrees, minutes and seconds to measure precise angles. I convert it to decimal as it’s much easier for calculations and my dumb brain to figure out.

[jacksimmonds]

So basically a minute is 1/60th of a degree

[devinpayne]

Thanks for this because I was seriously confused when he said minutes in knuckle busters like...wtf did he just say

[charleswhy]

This was informative. More videos like this please!

[LukeCunningham]

There are actually seconds beyond minutes same thing 60 seconds per minute I belive so there is like 360 seconds for every degree, that's only needed in like surveying though.
