About Arcsecond (″)
One sixtieth of an arcminute (1/3600 of a degree), the arcsecond provides the precision needed in astrometry for measuring stellar positions and parallax. The Hubble Space Telescope achieves resolution of about 0.05 arcseconds, and GPS coordinates at the arcsecond level pinpoint locations to within about 31 meters.
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.
