[QUOTE="Brad7348, post: 1938134, member: 70334"] Another interesting factoid. There is no geometric reason that a circle should have 360 degrees of angular measure. It was totally made up based on the number of days in a year. So the ancient Babylonians, decided that a circle should contain 360 degrees. In one degree there are 60 minutes (though they have the same name, one minute-angle is not the same as one minute-time). Contrary to this, A radian is a geometric and mathematical relationship based on the length of the radius of a circle. One Radian is a unit of angle, equal to an angle at the center of a circle whose arc is equal in length to the radius. There are 6.28 radians in a complete circle which is equal to 2Pi. the length around the circle is equal to the number of radians times the radius. 2piR or PiD. So mathematically MRAD makes way more sense. That being said, I'm still an MOA guy. [/QUOTE]
