💡 Did you know?

π radians = 180°. The conversion factor π/180 appears everywhere in physics and engineering. Degrees were chosen in ancient Babylon because 360 divides cleanly by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 — useful before calculators. Radians were formalised later when calculus showed they make trig functions their simplest.
