Turn (geometry)

Full angle is a designation for the 360 ° angle and a unit of measure for the physical quantity plane angle. When a radial beam is rotated 360 ° around its center, makes his tip a whole - or full - circular motion.

The full angle is not an SI unit, but in the countries of EU and Switzerland is a legal entity. It is treated in DIN 1301-1, Publication 2010-10 in a table " generally applicable units outside the SI ". The unit of whole angle has no unit symbol. Decimal multiples or parts may not be formed with SI intentions.

Attempts have been made to introduce a unit character in the German standard DIN also for the work of the full angle, namely " pla " (from the Latin Plenus angulus ), but this attempt is stuck at the design stage.
