Full name: microradian
Plural form: microradians
Symbol: µrad
Alternate spelling: microc
Category type: angle
Scale factor: 1.0E-6
The SI derived unit for angle is the radian.
1 radian is equal to 1000000 microradian.
Valid units must be of the angle type.
You can use this form to select from known units:
The SI prefix "micro" represents a factor of 10-6, or in exponential notation, 1E-6.
So 1 microradian = 10-6 radians.
The definition of a radian is as follows:
In mathematics and physics, the radian is a unit of angle measure. It is the SI derived unit of angle. It is defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc of circumference equal in length to the radius of the circle. Angle measures in radians are often given without any explicit unit. When a unit is given, sometimes the abbreviation rad is used, sometimes the symbol c (for "circular").
