The radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics. The length of an arc of a unit circle is numerically equal to the measurement in radians of the angle that it subtends; one radian is just under 57.3 degrees.
A second of arc, arcsecond (arcsec), arc second, or second arc is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/3600 of one degree.
