The '''turn''' (symbol '''tr''' or '''pla''') is a unit of [plane angle](/source/plane_angle) measurement that is the measure of a [complete angle](/source/complete_angle)—the angle [subtended](/source/Subtended_angle) by a complete [circle](/source/circle) at its center. One turn is equal to {{math|2[''π''](/source/Pi)}}&nbsp;[radian](/source/radian)s, 360&nbsp;[degrees](/source/degree_(angle)) or 400&nbsp;[gradian](/source/gradian)s. As an [angular unit](/source/angular_unit), one turn also corresponds to one '''cycle''' (symbol '''cyc''' or '''c''')<ref name="Fitzpatrick_2021" /> or to one '''revolution''' (symbol '''rev''' or '''r''').<ref name="IET_2016" /> Common related [units of frequency](/source/Frequency) are ''[cycles per second](/source/cycles_per_second)'' (cps) and ''[revolutions per minute](/source/revolutions_per_minute)'' (rpm). The angular unit of the turn is useful in connection with, among other things, [electromagnetic coil](/source/electromagnetic_coil)s (e.g., [transformer](/source/transformer)s), rotating objects, and the [winding number](/source/winding_number) of curves. 
Divisions of a turn include the half-turn and quarter-turn, spanning a [straight angle](/source/Angle) and a [right angle](/source/right_angle), respectively; [metric prefixes](/source/metric_prefixes) can also be used as in, e.g., centiturns (ctr), milliturns (mtr), etc.

In the [ISQ](/source/International_System_of_Quantities), an arbitrary "number of turns" (also known as "number of revolutions" or "number of cycles") is formalized as a [dimensionless quantity](/source/dimensionless_quantity) called '''''rotation''''', defined as the [ratio](/source/ratio) of a given angle and a full turn. It is represented by the symbol ''N''. {{xref|(See below for the formula.)}}

Because one turn is <math>2\pi</math> radians, some have proposed representing <math>2\pi</math> with the single letter [𝜏 (tau)](/source/Tau_(mathematics)).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tauday.com/tau-manifesto|title=The Tau Manifesto |first=Michael |last=Hartl |year=2010 |access-date=2025-07-05}}</ref>

== Unit symbols ==

There are several unit symbols for the turn.

=== EU and Switzerland ===
The German standard [DIN 1315](/source/DIN_1315) (March 1974) proposed the unit symbol "pla" (from Latin: {{lang|la|plenus angulus}} 'full angle') for turns.<ref name="German_2013"/><ref name="Kurzweil_1999"/> Covered in {{ill|DIN 1301-1|de}} (October 2010)<!-- in a table "allgemein anwendbare Einheiten außerhalb des SI" -->, the so-called {{lang|de|Vollwinkel}} ('full angle') is not an [SI unit](/source/SI_unit). However, it is a [legal unit of measurement](/source/legal_unit_of_measurement) in the EU<ref name="EWG_1980"/><ref name="EG_2009"/> and Switzerland.<ref name="Einheitenverordnung_1994"/>

=== Calculators ===
The scientific calculators [HP&nbsp;39gII](/source/HP%26nbsp%3B39gII) and [HP&nbsp;Prime](/source/HP%26nbsp%3BPrime) support the unit symbol "tr" for turns since 2011 and 2013, respectively. Support for "tr" was also added to [newRPL](/source/newRPL) for the [HP&nbsp;50g](/source/HP%26nbsp%3B50g) in 2016, and for the [hp&nbsp;39g+](/source/hp%26nbsp%3B39g%2B), [HP&nbsp;49g+](/source/HP%26nbsp%3B49g%2B), [HP&nbsp;39gs](/source/HP%26nbsp%3B39gs), and [HP&nbsp;40gs](/source/HP%26nbsp%3B40gs) in 2017.<ref name="Lapilli_2016"/><ref name="Lapilli_2018"/> An angular mode <var>TURN</var> was suggested for the [WP&nbsp;43S](/source/WP%26nbsp%3B43S) as well,<ref name="Paul_2016"/> but the calculator instead implements "MUL{{pi}}" (''[multiples of {{pi}}](/source/multiples_of_%CF%80)'') as mode and unit since 2019.<ref name="Bonin_2019_OG"/><ref name="Bonin_2019_RG"/>

== Divisions ==
{{see also|Angle#Units}}

Many angle units are defined as a division of the turn. For example, the [degree](/source/Degree_(angle)) is defined such that one turn is 360 degrees.

Using [metric prefix](/source/metric_prefix)es, the turn can be divided in 100 centiturns or {{val|1000}} milliturns, with each milliturn corresponding to an [angle](/source/angle) of 0.36°, which can also be written as [21′&nbsp;36″](/source/Minute_and_second_of_arc).<ref name="Hoyle_1962" /><ref name="Klein_2012" /> A [protractor](/source/protractor) divided in centiturns is normally called a "[percentage](/source/percentage) protractor". While percentage protractors have existed since 1922,<ref name="Croxton_1992" /> the terms centiturns, milliturns and microturns<!-- ca. 1.3" --> were introduced much later by the British astronomer [Fred Hoyle](/source/Fred_Hoyle) in 1962.<ref name="Hoyle_1962" /><ref name="Klein_2012" /> Some measurement devices for artillery and [satellite watching](/source/satellite_watching) carry milliturn scales.<ref name="Schiffner_1965" /><ref name="Hayes_1975" />

[Binary fractions of a turn](/source/Binary_angular_measurement) are also used. Sailors have traditionally divided a turn into 32 [compass points](/source/points_of_the_compass), which implicitly have an angular separation of {{sfrac|1|32}}&nbsp;turn. The ''binary degree'', also known as the ''[binary radian](/source/binary_radian)'' (or ''brad''), is {{sfrac|1|256}}&nbsp;turn.<ref name="Savage_2007" /> The binary degree is used in computing so that an angle can be represented to the maximum possible precision in a single [byte](/source/byte). Other measures of angle used in computing may be based on dividing one whole turn into {{math|2<sup>''n''</sup>}} equal parts for other values of {{mvar|n}}.<ref name="Hargreaves_2010" />

== Unit conversion ==
[[File:2pi-unrolled.gif|400px|thumb|right|The [circumference](/source/circumference) of the [unit circle](/source/unit_circle) (whose [radius](/source/radius) is one) is {{math|2''π''}}.]]

One turn is equal to <math>2\pi</math> = <math>\tau</math> ≈ {{val|6.283185307179586}}<ref name="OEIS2C_A019692" /> [radian](/source/radian)s, 360 [degrees](/source/degree_(angle)), or 400 [gradian](/source/gradian)s.

In the [International System of Quantities](/source/International_System_of_Quantities) (ISQ), '''rotation''' (symbol '''''N''''') is a [physical quantity](/source/physical_quantity) defined as '''number of revolutions''':<ref name="ISO80000-3_2019" />

<blockquote>''N'' is the number (not necessarily an integer) of revolutions, for example, of a rotating body about a given axis. Its value is given by:<!-- Difference from the original formula present in the following formula is intentional. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Turn_(angle)#Way_forward]. -->
: <math>N = \frac{\varphi}{2 \pi \text{ rad}}</math>
where {{varphi}} denotes the measure of [rotational displacement](/source/rotational_displacement).</blockquote>

The above definition is part of the ISQ, formalized in the international standard [ISO 80000-3](/source/ISO_80000-3) (Space and time),<ref name="ISO80000-3_2019" /> and adopted in the [International System of Units](/source/International_System_of_Units) (SI).<ref name="SIBrochure_9" /><ref name="NISTGuide_2009" />

Rotation count or number of revolutions is a [quantity of dimension one](/source/quantity_of_dimension_one), resulting from a ratio of angular displacement.
It can be negative and also greater than 1 in modulus.
The relationship between quantity rotation, ''N'', and unit turns, tr, can be expressed as:
: <math>N = \frac \varphi \text{tr} = \{ \varphi \}_\text{tr}</math>
where <nowiki>{</nowiki>{{varphi}}<nowiki>}</nowiki><sub>tr</sub> is the numerical value of the angle {{varphi}} in units of turns (see ''{{slink|Physical quantity#Components}}'').

In the ISQ/SI, rotation is used to derive [rotational frequency](/source/rotational_frequency) (the [rate of change](/source/Derivative) of rotation with respect to time), denoted by {{mvar|n}}:
: <math>n = \frac{\mathrm{d}N}{\mathrm{d}t}</math>

The SI unit of rotational frequency is the [reciprocal second](/source/reciprocal_second) (s<sup>−1</sup>). Common related [units of frequency](/source/Frequency) are ''[hertz](/source/hertz)'' (Hz), ''[cycles per second](/source/cycles_per_second)'' (cps), and ''[revolutions per minute](/source/revolutions_per_minute)'' (rpm).

{{anchor|Rotational unit}}
The superseded version ISO 80000-3:2006 defined "revolution" as a special name for the [dimensionless unit](/source/dimensionless_unit) "one",{{efn|"The special name revolution, symbol r, for this unit [name 'one', symbol '1'] is widely used in specifications on rotating machines."<ref name="ISO 80000-3:2006">{{cite web | title=ISO 80000-3:2006 | website=ISO | date=2001-08-31 | url=https://www.iso.org/standard/31888.html | access-date=2023-04-25}}</ref>}}
which also received other special names, such as the radian.{{efn|"Measurement units of quantities of dimension one are numbers. In some cases, these measurement units are given special names, e.g. radian..."<ref name="ISO 80000-3:2006"/>}}
Despite their [dimensional homogeneity](/source/dimensional_homogeneity), these two specially named dimensionless units are applicable for non-comparable [kinds of quantity](/source/kind_of_quantity): rotation and angle, respectively.<ref name="ISO 80000-1">{{cite web |title=ISO 80000-1:2009(en) Quantities and units — Part 1: General |url=https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:80000:-1:ed-1:v1:en |access-date=2023-05-12 |website=iso.org}}</ref>
"Cycle" is also mentioned in ISO 80000-3, in the definition of ''[period](/source/period_(physics))''.{{efn|"3-14) period duration, period: duration (item 3‑9) of one cycle of a periodic event"<ref name="ISO80000-3_2019"/>}}

TURN mode works exactly like DEG, RAD and GRAD (including having a full set of angle unit conversion functions like on the [WP 34S](/source/WP_34S)), except for that a full circle doesn't equal 360 degree, 6.2831... rad or 400 gon, but 1 turn. (I […] found it to be really convenient in engineering/programming, where you often have to convert to/from other unit representations […] But I think it can also be useful for educational purposes.
