How to Convert Degrees Per Second to Radians Per Second

To convert a degree per second measurement to a radian per second measurement, multiply the frequency by the conversion ratio.

Since one degree per second is equal to 0.017453 radians per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:

radians per second = degrees per second × 0.017453

The frequency in radians per second is equal to the degrees per second multiplied by 0.017453.

For example, here's how to convert 5 degrees per second to radians per second using the formula above.
5 °/s = (5 × 0.017453) = 0.087266 rad/s

Degrees per second and radians per second are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Degrees Per Second

Degrees per second are a measure of angular frequency, or rotational speed, equal to the change in orientation or angle of an object in degrees per second.

Degrees per second can be abbreviated as °/s; for example, 1 degree per second can be written as 1 °/s.

In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.[1]

Radians Per Second

Radians per second are a measure of angular frequency, or rotational speed, equal to the change in orientation or angle of an object in radians per second.

Radians per second can be abbreviated as rad/s; for example, 1 radian per second can be written as 1 rad/s.
