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.
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.
