An angular unit where one full circle = 360 degrees, originating from the ancient Babylonian sexagesimal system (as 360 approximates the number of days in a year and is highly divisible). Universally used for geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), architecture, navigation, and everyday directional descriptions. Although the radian is the SI unit, degrees are more intuitive for general use.
