A revolution is a unit used to measure angle.
A revolution is sometimes also referred to as a turn, cycle, or complete rotation. Revolutions can be abbreviated as r, and are also sometimes abbreviated as rev or cyc. For example, 1 revolution can be written as 1 r, 1 rev, or 1 cyc.
How Much Is a Revolution?
A revolution, or turn, is equal to 1 rotation around a circle, or 360°. Revolutions are commonly used to measure the speed of rotation, for example when measuring the revolutions per minute (RPM) of a vehicle's engine.
How to Convert Revolutions
To convert revolutions to another unit of angle, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]
You can find the conversion factors for revolutions in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the angle measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
revolutions × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
