Conversion Formula

°/min = °/s × 60

About Degrees per second

The degree per second (°/s) equals π/180 rad/s ≈ 0.01745 rad/s, the most widely used angular velocity unit in consumer electronics, robotics, and aviation. MEMS gyroscopes in smartphones range from ±16 °/s (precision mode) to ±2000 °/s (sports mode). Normal human head rotation is 30-80 °/s; car crash events exceed 2000 °/s. Weather radar antennas (WSR-88D NEXRAD) rotate at 3-6 °/s; FAA flight data recorders log roll rate to ±100 °/s. Robot joints (Universal Robots UR5e) operate at 10-180 °/s. 1 °/s = π/180 rad/s ≈ 1/6 rpm.

About Degrees per minute

The degree per minute (°/min) equals π/10800 rad/s ≈ 2.909 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s. The sidereal tracking rate for astronomical telescopes is 0.25 °/min (15 °/h); modern robotic observatories slew at 100-400 °/min between targets. A clock's hour hand turns at 0.5 °/min; the minute hand at 6 °/min. Industrial drum conveyors for cement kilns rotate at 0.5-5 °/min; automotive power-steering columns during parking manoeuvres rotate at 30-180 °/min. 1 °/min ≈ 2.909 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s = 1/60 rpm.
