Mil to Sextant Converter
Angle · unit-converter
Convert Mil to Sextant with a fixed input and output unit, step-by-step formula line, and reference tables. All calculations bridge through radians with fixed definitions (360° per turn, 400 grad per turn, 60′ per degree, 60″ per minute, plus practical units like MOA, urad, and NATO 6400 mils per turn).
About Mil
NATO mils split a full circle into 6,400 parts for artillery and tactical optics; 1 mil = 2π/6400 rad.
About Sextant
A sextant is one sixth of a full turn: 60° or π/3 radians. It appears in geometry and some traditional angular partitioning.
How to convert mils (nato, 6400) to sextants
1 mil equals 0.0009375000000000002 sextant in this tool (via radian):
1 mil = (0.0009817477042468104 rad ÷ 1.0471975511965976 rad) sextant = 0.0009375000000000002 sextant
Each mil carries 0.0009817477042468104 rad and each sextant 1.0471975511965976 rad, so one mil equals 0.0009817477042468104 ÷ 1.0471975511965976 sextant.
Let θ(mil) be the angle in Mil (mil), and θ(sextant) in Sextant (sextant). Then:
θ(sextant) = θ(mil) × (0.0009817477042468104 / 1.0471975511965976)
Equivalently, divide by how many mil fit into one sextant (rad per sextant divided by rad per mil):
θ(sextant) = θ(mil) ÷ 1066.6666666666665
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 mil to sextant
1 mil = 1 mil × (0.0009817477042468104/1.0471975511965976) sextant = 0.0009375 sextant
1 mil = 1 mil ÷ 1066.6666666666665 = 0.0009375 sextant
1 mil × (0.0009817477042468104/1.0471975511965976) = 0.000938 sextant
Example #2: Convert 10 mil to sextant
10 mil = 10 mil × (0.0009817477042468104/1.0471975511965976) sextant = 0.009375 sextant
10 mil = 10 mil ÷ 1066.6666666666665 = 0.009375 sextant
10 mil × (0.0009817477042468104/1.0471975511965976) = 0.009375 sextant
Summary
To convert Mil to Sextant, multiply the value in mil by (0.0009817477042468104 rad per mil) / (1.0471975511965976 rad per sextant). Equivalently: value_sextant = value_mil × (0.0009817477042468104 / 1.0471975511965976). Numerically, 1 mil equals 0.0009375000000000002 sextant.
Relationship context
Both Mil and Sextant are converted by fixed multiples of the radian. Multiplying by (rad per mil) ÷ (rad per sextant) matches passing through radians, keeping degrees, gradians, arc minutes, NATO mils, and revolutions consistent on the hub.
