sine-1(0.3420201433) = 20 degrees
if x if ArcSine 1.5 degrees means the sin(x)=1.5 but the range of the sin(theta) for all angles theta is between o and 1 inclusive. So there is no real answer.
No angle has a sine function greater than 1.
An arc second is 1/60th of an arc minute and 1/3600th of a degree. This means there are 60 arc seconds in an arc minute, and 3600 arc seconds in a degree.
there are 60 seconds in one minute. An arc minute is 1/60 degree and an arc second is 1/3600 degree
Yes, one minute of arc of latitude along any meridian is about one nautical mile.
Yes, it is called arcsin.
Yes. The sun is 32 arc minutes.

60. the whole scheme of arc measurment, which dates to the Babylonians" time is based on Base 60 sixty seconds to a minute, 60 minutes to a degree. an arc minute is a division of an angle. six minutes of arc-the allowable margin of error on the PYRAMIDS IS one tenth of one degree! This is something easily visualized with a clock or watch dial or compass. meters are distances, not angles.
arc sine is the inverse function of the sine function so if y = sin(x) then x = arcsin(y) where y belongs to [-pi/2, pi/2]. It can be calculated using the Taylor series given in the link below.

A second of arc.
mostly it comes from memorization. If sin 30 = 1/2, then arcsin (1/2) = 30
The diameter of a lunar crater with 1 minute of arc is roughly 1.6 kilometers. The actual size of lunar craters can vary widely, so this is just an approximate value.
