Convert circles to radians with this simple formula:

radians = circles × 6.283185

Converting a circle angle measurement to a radian measurement involves multiplying your angle by the conversion ratio to find the result. A circle is equal to 6.283185 radians, so to convert simply multiply by 6.283185.

For example:

5cir = (5 × 6.283185) = 31.415927rad

Circles and radians are both units used to measure angle. Learn more about angle and find more angle measurement conversion calculators. A circle is an angle measurement and can be abbreviated as cir, for example 1cir. A radian is an angle measurement and can be abbreviated as rad, for example 1rad.

A radian is the measurement of the angle from the start to the end of an arc equal to the radius of the circle. 1 radian is equal to 180/π, or about 57.29578°. There are about 6.28318 radians in a circle. The radian is the standard SI unit of measurement for an angle.

A circle is the equivalent of 1 revolution around a circle, or 360°.
