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 Radian (rad)
The SI unit of angular measure, one radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius. A full circle is 2*pi radians (approximately 6.283 rad). Radians are essential in calculus and physics because trigonometric functions have their simplest derivatives when angles are in radians.
