What this conversion means in practice
Libraries returning radians often need degrees for compass roses, compass bearings, or CAD angular dimensions still labeled in °.
The exact relationship here is 1 rad = 57.295779513082 °, consistent with expressing both units relative to degrees (°).
How to convert radian to degree
