From its basis as one-60th of 1 degree.
1 degree = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds 1 degree = 3,600 seconds
1 minute = 60 seconds1 degree = 60 minutes = (60 x 60) = 3,600secondsAn arcsecond is simply a second in terms of degrees. There are 60 arcseconds in one arcminute, and 60 arcminutes in one degree. Therefore, there are 3,600 arcseconds in one degree. This is determined by multiplying 60 by 60, and this equals 3,600.
it is equal to one minute or sixty seconds
