English: This file illustrates the concept of coterminal angles. A blue angle AOI is represented, and its measure is seen as a blue arc, with an arrow of the same color pointing counterclockwise to indicate its direction, and the text 45°. Point I is on the x axis and on OI, point A is on OA.
An arc of a circle with the same length as the radius of that circle corresponds to an angle of 1 radian. A full circle corresponds to a full turn, or approximately 6.28 radians, which is expressed here using the Greek letter tau (τ). Some special angles in radians, stated in terms of 𝜏. A comparison of angles expressed in degrees and radians.
Binary angular measurement (BAM) [1] (and the binary angular measurement system, BAMS [2]) is a measure of angles using binary numbers and fixed-point arithmetic, in which a full turn is represented by the value 1. The unit of angular measure used in those methods may be called binary radian (brad) or binary degree.
Additionally, an angle that is a rational multiple of radians is constructible if and only if, when it is expressed as / radians, where a and b are relatively prime integers, the prime factorization of the denominator, b, is the product of some power of two and any number of distinct Fermat primes (a Fermat prime is a prime number one greater ...

In astronomy, the angular size or angle subtended by the image of a distant object is often only a few arcseconds (denoted by the symbol ″), so it is well suited to the small angle approximation. [6] The linear size (D) is related to the angular size (X) and the distance from the observer (d) by the simple formula:
