How it is calculated
rps = °/s × 0.002777777778
Multiply the value in degrees per second by 0.002777777778 to get revolutions per second.
Example
To convert 25 °/s to revolutions per second: 25 × 0.002777777778 = 0.0694444 rps.

About the units
- Degree per second
- Turning one degree each second, where a degree is π/180 rad, about 0.0174533 rad/s. It is used for gyroscope sensors and servo motors.
- Revolution per second
- Full turns per second, so 1 rps is exactly 2π rad/s and 60 rpm.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many revolutions per second are in one degree per second?
1 °/s = 0.00277778 rps exactly.
How do I convert degrees per second to revolutions per second?
Use rps = °/s × 0.002777777778. For example, 25 °/s = 0.0694444 rps.
How many degrees per second are in one revolution per second?
1 rps = 360 °/s.
How do I convert rpm to radians per second?
Multiply the rpm by 2π and divide by 60. For example 3000 rpm is 100π, about 314.16 rad/s.
Is angular speed the same as frequency in hertz?
No. Frequency counts turns per second, while angular speed in rad/s is the frequency times 2π. So a rotation at 1 Hz is 6.2832 rad/s.
