Convert revolution to sextant
Enter a value below to convert revolution [r] to sextant [None]. Reverse conversion: Convert sextant to revolution.
1 r = 6 None. To convert revolution to sextant, multiply the value by 6; to go the other way, divide by it (1 None = 0.166666666667 r). Both units measure angle and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Revolution to Sextant: Quick Reference
- 1 r = 6 None
- 1 None = 0.166666666667 r
- 10 r = 60 None
- 100 r = 600 None
How to Convert Revolution to Sextant
1 r = 6 None
Example: convert 15 r to None:
15 r = 15 × 6 None = 90 None

Revolution: Definition and Use
A revolution is a complete turn or rotation around a central point, typically measuring 360 degrees in angular terms.
History/Origin
The concept of a revolution as a full rotation has origins in ancient geometry and astronomy, with the term 'revolution' historically used to describe celestial orbits and rotations in various cultures.
Current Use
In modern contexts, the unit 'revolution' (symbol: r) is used to quantify angular displacement, especially in mechanical and engineering applications, where one revolution equals 360 degrees or 2π radians.
Sextant: Definition and Use
A sextant is a unit of angular measurement used primarily in navigation and astronomy, equal to 60 arcminutes or one degree.
History/Origin
The sextant was developed in the 18th century as a navigational instrument to measure the angle between celestial objects and the horizon, greatly improving maritime navigation accuracy.
Current Use
Today, the sextant is mainly used for educational purposes, historical demonstrations, and by navigators as a backup tool in celestial navigation.
