Convert Grad to Turn (Angle)




Description:

Gradians and turns measure angles at different scales. One gradian equals 1/400 of a turn, since a full turn equals 400 gradians. This conversion is useful in rotational mechanics, surveying, and robotics, where complete revolutions are modeled and controlled.

For example, 100 gradians equals 0.25 turns — a value that might describe the rotation of a gear or the angular displacement of a robotic joint. Turns offer a simple way to express full-circle motion, while gradians provide decimal-based granularity. Converting gradians to turns allows for easier interpretation of angular displacement in systems that operate on cycles or loops. This relationship also appears in geodesy and civil engineering, where rotational angles are used to define layout and orientation.
