Turn
A turn is a unit of angular measurement representing a full rotation of 360 degrees or 2Ο radians.
History/Origin
The concept of a turn as a measure of rotation dates back to ancient civilizations that divided circles into parts for navigation and astronomy. It has been standardized in modern times as a convenient way to express rotations, especially in engineering and physics.
Current Use
The turn is used in various fields such as engineering, robotics, and navigation to describe the amount of rotation or angular displacement, often in contexts where a full rotation is relevant, such as in gear ratios, steering, and angular measurements.
Gon
A gon, also known as a grad, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used primarily in surveying and engineering.
History/Origin
The gon was introduced in France during the 19th century as part of the metric system to provide a more decimal-friendly division of angles, replacing traditional units like degrees and radians in certain applications.
Current Use
Gons are mainly used in surveying, cartography, and some engineering fields, especially in countries that adopted the metric system, for precise angle measurements and calculations.
