Convert Radians per hour to Degrees per minute
Convert Radians per hour (rad/h) to Degrees per minute (°/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
°/min = rad/h × 0.9549296586
About Radians per hour
The radian per hour (rad/h) equals 1/3600 rad/s ≈ 2.778 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s. In tidal harmonic analysis, constituents are characterised by their angular speed in rad/h: the principal lunar M₂ tide has σ ≈ 0.5059 rad/h; the solar S₂ exactly π/6 ≈ 0.5236 rad/h. A geostationary satellite tracks at 2π/24 ≈ 0.2618 rad/h - the same as Earth's sidereal rate, which equatorial telescope drives must match to follow stars. Rotary cement kilns (up to 230 m long) rotate at 0.1-0.5 rad/h. 1 rad/h = 1/3600 rad/s ≈ 0.1592 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.
