arcsecond to centiradian
Convert arcsecond (″) to centiradian (crad). Use an editable angle converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 ″ = 0.0004848136811 crad
Conversion formula
One arcsecond equals 0.0004848136811 centiradian. Multiply your value in arcsecond by this factor to get centiradian. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example

About these measurements
An angle describes rotation between directions.
The base reference used here is the radian. One arcsecond is 0.000004848136811 base units; one centiradian is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
A full turn is 360 degrees or 2π radians. Signed angles are permitted.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
