# Radian
The **radian** (symbol **rad**) is the unit for measuring angles, and is the
standard unit of angular measure used in many areas of mathematics.
The length of an arc of a unit circle is numerically equal to the measurement
in radians of the angle that it subtends; one radian is just under `57.3` degrees.
An arc of a circle with the same length as the radius of that circle subtends an
angle of `1 radian`. The circumference subtends an angle of `2π radians`.
A complete revolution is 2π radians (shown here with a circle of radius one and
thus circumference `2π`).
**Conversions**
