    54′. In trigonometry, the gradian – also known as the gon (from Ancient Greek γωνία (gōnía) 'angle'), grad, or grade[1] – is a unit of measurement of an angle, defined as one-hundredth of the right angle; in other words, 100 gradians is equal to 90 degrees. [2][3][4] It is equivalent to ⁠ 1 400 ⁠ of a turn, [5] ⁠ 9 10 ⁠ of ...

    Horizontal pitch (HP) is a unit of length defined by the Eurocard printed circuit board standard used to measure the horizontal width of rack mounted electronic equipment, similar to the rack unit (U) used to measure vertical heights of rack mounted equipment. One HP is 0.2 inches (1/5") or 5.08 millimetres wide.

    Gradian → – Gon is the name of this unit in ISO 31-1 (superseded by ISO 80000-3) and in ISO 80000-3 ISO 80000-3#Units of angle. Prefereably is even Gon (angle measurement) (. I think where possible it is best to follow ISO standards. WillemienH 08:25, 27 October 2015 (UTC) Probably oppose. I think ISO standards are at best a tiebreaker.

    A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [4] It is not an SI unit —the SI unit of angular measure is the radian —but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. [5]

    Gradient. The gradient, represented by the blue arrows, denotes the direction of greatest change of a scalar function. The values of the function are represented in greyscale and increase in value from white (low) to dark (high). In vector calculus, the gradient of a scalar-valued differentiable function of several variables is the vector field ...

    The angle rounded to whole degrees for which a rainbow appears (the critical angle). In 1966, mathematician Paul Cooper theorized that the fastest, most efficient way to travel across continents would be to bore a straight hollow tube directly through the Earth , connecting a set of antipodes , remove the air from the tube and fall through.
