About this calculator

An arcminute is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree, further subdivided into 60 arcseconds — the same base-60 system the Babylonians used for both angles and time, which is why "minutes" and "seconds" show up in both contexts.

Arcminutes give astronomers and opticians a finer unit than the degree for describing small angles: the Moon's apparent diameter is about 30 arcminutes (half a degree), and a telescope's resolving power or a lens's field of view are commonly specified in arcminutes — units too small to conveniently express as a fraction of a degree.
