Degrees to Turns
A degree divides a full circle into 360 parts, the everyday unit for angles, compass headings, and geographic coordinates. A turn is one full 360° rotation, used to describe complete revolutions in mechanics and navigation. 1 deg equals ≈0.00277778 turn, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to angle, measured here against angle's base unit (rad) — every other angle unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
turn = deg × ≈0.00277778
deg = turn × 360
Worked example: 5 deg × ≈0.00277778 = ≈0.0138889 turn.
