1 second of time (s) equals 0.000277777778 hour angles (h).

Quick answer

  • 1 second of time = 0.000277777778 hour angles
  • 1 hour angle = 3,600 seconds of time
  • Formula: h = s ÷ 3,600

1 second of time = 0.000277777778 hour angles

How to convert seconds of time to hour angles

h = s ÷ 3,600

To convert seconds of time to hour angles, divide the number of seconds of time by 3,600.

Example: 1 s to h

  1. Start with the value in seconds of time: 1 s.
  2. Divide by 3,600: 1 ÷ 3,600 = 0.000277777778.
  3. Result: 1 second of time = 0.000277777778 hour angles.

Going the other way, 1 hour angle = 3,600 seconds of time, so to convert hour angles back to seconds of time you multiply by the same number. See hour angles to seconds of time.
