Question 1

What is a mil in angular measurement?

Accepted Answer

A mil (milliradian) is approximately 1/6400 of a circle. Used in military applications for ranging.

Question 2

How do I convert degrees to mils?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 17.778 (NATO standard). For example, 1° ≈ 17.78 mils.

Question 3

What's the difference between degrees and radians?

Accepted Answer

Degrees divide a circle into 360 parts (historical, from Babylonians). Radians use the mathematical relationship where 2π radians = 360°, making calculus simpler.

Question 4

When should I use radians vs degrees?

Accepted Answer

Use degrees for everyday angles and navigation. Use radians for mathematics, physics, and programming where trigonometric functions expect radian input.
