In 1 turns there are 360 degrees. Meanwhile in 1 degrees there are 0.002778 turns. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure and how they are calculated. Or just use the Degrees to Turns calculator above to convert any number.

A turn is a full rotation around a circle. 1 turn = 360 degrees. This makes turns to degrees conversion quick and exact.
Use this formula:
Examples:
Tip: If you have degrees and need the reverse, use Turns = Degrees ÷ 360.
A turn is a full rotation around a point. One full turn brings you back to the same direction. Turns are useful for describing rotations in simple terms.
One full turn equals 360 degrees. This is the standard way to measure a complete circle in degrees.
A half turn equals 180 degrees. It points in the opposite direction from where you started.
A quarter turn equals 90 degrees. This is the same as a right angle.
A three-quarter turn equals 270 degrees. It’s one quarter short of a full turn.
Use this simple rule:
degrees = turns × 360
Divide degrees by 360:
turns = degrees ÷ 360
Multiply by 360:
0.25 × 360 = 90 degrees
0.5 × 360 = 180 degrees
0.75 × 360 = 270 degrees
1.5 × 360 = 540 degrees
Yes. Turns can be any number, including numbers greater than 1. For example, 2 turns means two full rotations, which equals 720 degrees.
Yes. A negative turn means rotation in the opposite direction. For example, -0.25 turn = -90 degrees.
A circle is split into 360 equal parts called degrees. That choice goes back to early math and astronomy. Today, it’s the common standard in geometry, navigation, and many tools.
Yes, in most cases. A revolution is one full rotation. That matches 1 turn = 360 degrees.
Turns are common for quick rotation descriptions, like “half a turn.” Degrees are used in geometry, maps, bearings, construction, and machine settings. Both measure the same thing, just in different units.
They all measure angles:
The Calculate Box tool to convert turns to degrees uses the open source script Convert.js to convert units of measurement. To use this tool, simply type a turns value in the box and have it instantly converted to degrees.
