What is Gradian?
The gradian (symbol: grad), also known as gon, is a unit of measurement of an angle, equivalent to 1/400 of a full rotation.
One gradian is equal to 9/10 of a degree or $\pi/200$ radians.
Common Uses
Gradians are primarily used in surveying, particularly in some European countries, because they align well with the decimal system (e.g., a right angle is exactly 100 grads).
What is Degree?
A degree (symbol: °) is a measurement of a plane angle, representing 1/360 of a full rotation.
Common Uses
The degree is the most common unit of angular measurement used in everyday life, navigation, geography (latitude and longitude), and elementary geometry.
