1 minute of arc is one sixtieth, or about 0.01667, of a degree. The sine of of 0.01667 degrees is about 0.0002909.

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 equivalent to one sixtieth (1/60) of one arc-minute. An arc-minute is equivalent to one sixtieth (1/60) of one degree.
there are 60 seconds in one minute. An arc minute is 1/60 degree and an arc second is 1/3600 degree
Yes, it is called arcsin.
Yes, one minute of arc of latitude along any meridian is about one nautical mile.
Yes. The sun is 32 arc minutes.
General answer: Math Specific Answer: Taylor Series
A minute of arc [See Link] or arcminute (MOA) is a unit of angular measurement, equal to one sixtieth (1/60) of one degree. Since one degree is defined as one three hundred sixtieth (1/360) of a circle, 1 minute of arc is 1/21,600 of the amount of arc in a closed circle.There are 148,510,800 square arcminutes in a complete sphere.A circle is 360 degrees.A degree is a circle divided into 60 equal parts.An arcsec is a degree divided into 60 equal parts.
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.
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.
mostly it comes from memorization. If sin 30 = 1/2, then arcsin (1/2) = 30
