About Gradian (gon)
Also called a gon or grad, the gradian divides a right angle into exactly 100 parts, making a full circle 400 gradians. Developed during the French Revolution alongside the metric system, gradians are used in some surveying instruments and are standard on scientific calculators alongside degree and radian modes.
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.
