About Arcminute (′)

One sixtieth of a degree, the arcminute is used in astronomy for the apparent size of celestial objects (the Moon subtends about 31 arcminutes), in navigation for precise coordinate specification, and in optometry for measuring visual acuity. Geographic coordinates are expressed in degrees, arcminutes, and arcseconds.

About Degree (°)

One 360th of a full rotation, the degree has been used since ancient Babylonian astronomy, likely chosen because 360 approximates the number of days in a year and has many convenient divisors. Navigation, surveying, architecture, and everyday angle descriptions all use degrees as their primary unit.
