About radians
Radian (rad) — A full circle is 2 pi radians, so pi radians equals 180 degrees.
Common uses: Radians are used in trigonometry, calculus, physics, programming math libraries, unit-circle work, and angular motion.
About degrees
Degree (degree) — A full circle is 360 degrees. One degree equals pi/180 radians.
Common uses: Degrees are used in geometry, navigation, surveying references, diagrams, maps, and everyday angle measurements.
