kraadiastmeid

Kraadiastmeid refers to degrees, specifically in the context of angles or temperature. In geometry and trigonometry, a degree is a unit of measurement for angles, where a full circle is divided into 360 equal parts. This system is widely used in mathematics, navigation, and various scientific fields. For instance, a right angle is 90 degrees, and a straight angle is 180 degrees.

When discussing temperature, kraadiastmeid also denotes degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). Celsius is a metric unit where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure. Fahrenheit is another scale where water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. The conversion between these scales is a common practical application of understanding kraadiastmeid. The term itself is a direct translation or adaptation from other languages, reflecting a common system of measurement.
