About the arcsecond and the arcminute

The arcsecond

The arcsecond (″) equals 1/3600 of a degree, or 1/60 of an arcminute. It is the standard unit for extremely small angles in astronomy and geodesy — a star's parallax shift of one arcsecond at one astronomical unit baseline defines the parsec.

The arcminute

The arcminute (′) equals 1/60 of a degree. It is used in astronomy, navigation, and optics to express small angular sizes and precision beyond whole degrees — one nautical mile is defined as one arcminute of latitude.
