The turn
The turn (tr) represents one complete rotation, exactly 360 degrees or 2π radians. It is used for describing full rotations in mechanics, screw threads, and rotational-speed contexts before converting to a rate like RPM.
Turns to Degrees Converter
1 tr = 360 ° (turn → degree)
1 tr = 360 °
1 turn equals 360 degrees. To convert turns to degrees, multiply the turn value by 360. For quick reference: 1 tr = 360 °, 5 tr = 1800 °, 10 tr = 3600 °, 100 tr = 36000 °.
Formula

Real-world reference
A wheel completing one full rotation has turned 1 turn. A screw might require 3 turns to fully seat. In degrees, that gives you: 1 tr = 360 °, 10 tr = 3600 °, 100 tr = 36000 °.
Frequently asked questions
- How many degrees are in 1 turn?
- 1 turn equals 360 degrees.
- How do I convert turns to degrees?
- Multiply the turn value by 360. So x tr × 360 = the equivalent in °.
- What is 5 turns in degrees?
- 5 turns equals 1800 degrees.
- What is 10 turns in degrees?
- 10 turns equals 3600 degrees.
- What is 100 turns in degrees?
- 100 turns equals 36000 degrees.
- How do I convert back from degrees to turns?
- Multiply the degree value by 0.00277778. For example, 1 ° = 0.00277778 tr.
- Is the turn bigger than the degree?
- Yes. 1 turn is larger than 1 degree — specifically 360 times larger.
- Are these conversion factors exact?
- The factor is derived directly from the SI definitions of turn and degree; the displayed value is rounded for readability, and the browser computes using IEEE 754 double-precision arithmetic.
About the turn and the degree
The degree
The degree (°) divides a full rotation into 360 equal parts, a convention traced to Babylonian sexagesimal astronomy. It is the everyday unit for angles in navigation, geography (latitude/longitude), construction, and general use.
