102 degrees is approximately 1.7802 radians.
This conversion is done by multiplying the degrees by π divided by 180, because there are π radians in 180 degrees, which makes the calculation straightforward and accurate for converting degree measurements into radians.
Conversion Result
102 degrees equals about 1.7802 radians when rounded to four decimal places.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert degrees into radians is: radians = degrees × (π / 180). It works because a full circle contains 2π radians, which equals 360 degrees, so dividing π by 180 gives the conversion factor. For example, 102° × (π / 180) results in approximately 1.7802 radians, aligning degrees with the radian measure.
Conversion Example
- Convert 45 degrees to radians:
- Multiply 45 by π / 180:
- 45 × (3.1416 / 180) = 0.7854 radians
- Result is approximately 0.7854 radians.
- Convert 90 degrees to radians:
- 90 × (π / 180) = 1.5708 radians
- Because 90° is a quarter turn, it equals π/2 radians.
- Convert 180 degrees to radians:
- 180 × (π / 180) = π radians
- This confirms that half a circle is π radians.
- Convert 270 degrees to radians:
- 270 × (π / 180) = 1.5π radians
- Which is 3π/2 radians, three-quarters of a circle.
- Convert 360 degrees to radians:
- 360 × (π / 180) = 2π radians
- Complete circle in radians, a full rotation.

Conversion Definitions
Degrees
Degrees are a unit of angular measurement where a full circle is divided into 360 equal parts, called degrees. It is commonly used in navigation, geometry, and daily life to specify angles or directions.
Radians
Radians are a measure of angles based on the radius of a circle, where one radian is the angle at the center of a circle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius. It provides a natural way to relate angles to the circle’s properties, used in mathematics and physics.
Conversion FAQs
Why is π used in degrees to radians conversions?
π appears because a circle’s total angle in radians is 2π, and dividing that into 180 degrees makes π the factor for converting degrees to radians. It creates a direct proportional link between the two measurement systems based on circle geometry.
How precise is the conversion from degrees to radians?
The conversion is exact when using π as a mathematical constant. When approximated, such as using 3.1416 for π, the results are close but may have small rounding errors, which become negligible for most practical purposes.
Can I convert radians back to degrees the same way?
Yes, by reversing the formula: degrees = radians × (180 / π). This allows to switch between units in both directions easily, ensuring the conversions stay consistent across different calculations.
