How to convert degrees to arcseconds

Multiply the value in degrees by 3,600 to get arcseconds.

arcsec = × 3,600
  1. 1Start with the value in degrees: 2 deg.
  2. 2Apply the formula: × 3,600 = 7,200.
  3. 3Round to the precision you need: 7,200 arcsec.

Examples

10 deg to arcsec × 3,600
= 36,000 arcsec50 deg to arcsec × 3,600
= 180,000 arcsec250 deg to arcsec × 3,600
= 900,000 arcsec
