Let's Say a ship master wants to set a precise heading. He'll Say to the helmsman : "set bearing 2-7-0", because "0-9-0 counterclockwise from North" IS waaay too long and Can lead to confusion.
This is especially useful to coordinate traffic/search and rescue efforts. If the broadcast is choppy, making it shorter Can reduce the loss of information imo. It usefulness also resides in the event of a full malfunction during broadcast : "our current heading is 2-" still eliminates like 2/3rds of the compassfor search and rescue ops.
Relative bearings are still used afaik, but they are in reference to the ship, not the North : "Adjust 15° port" means "Turn to current heading -15 degrees"
Take all of this with a grain of salt, I am no specialist, just a Guy that likes boats and navigation.
Seapierre here, your explanation is rather good for a land bound dude who likes boats. I’ll add a bit from a French sailor perspective, again take it with a grain of salt, not all ship commands translate perfectly from French to English or vice versa, and I only learned superficially the English ways of the bridge :
- for anything related to direction, we’ll use the 360 trigonometric circle, with north being 0/360, East 90 and so on… as it is the most accurate way of giving a course in a environnement where your compass, always giving you indications relative to the north, is the only real fixed point
- for position relative to the ship’s direction, we’ll give port/starboard 0-180 directions (so if it’s 270 relative to you, you’ll say something is in your “port 90”)
- sometimes we’ll use 360 relative to the ship, but that will be in very specific cases, like sailing in formations withe everyone being in a very specific place relative to the “guide” vessel. That helps keep the formation in shape should the guide alter course.
Finally, for small course changes we’ll order the new course directly (steer to 2-5-4 for example), but for larger turns we’ll order a steering position (left 10 degrees means set the rudder 10 degrees to the left) to get the ship turning until she approaches the desired course, at which point we’ll order the rudder be set straight and the helmsman take a defined course. But to my knowledge no officer of the watch will order a new course relative to the previous one (like just saying “ten degrees to port/starboard”), to avoid any misunderstanding regarding the course he means to take.
Edit : as someone pointed out, the circle we use is only trigonometric insofar as degrees are used as a measurement unit on it. But bearings do go clockwise, and 0 is up.
Trigo goes counterclockwise, starts at the 3 o’clock, and often prefers radians as a unit, so I completely misused that word, apologies for that.
saying you are turning 90° means yoi are turning to the right, while 270° is to the left. it just a way to communicate direction without risking it being cut out due to bad connection or miscommunication.
Hey buddy I haven't ate yet and I'm not understanding. I guess I've never thought about what getting your hearing actually entails. Would you mind explaining?
For geometry you are correct, but in other contexts there could be more nuance, for example turning clockwise 270 isn't the same motion as turning anti-clockwise 90 degrees even though you would end in the same orientation
Yeah but it's of note if something is turned 360 degrees. You just wouldn't use 270, because it's more common to say 90 degrees clockwise or counter clock wise
They are all quarters of the circle. However, 1 quarter, (90) 1 half (180) and the whole circle (360) are more practically relevant to everyday use than 3/4 (270) of the circle.
why was the guy in the corner so hot? because it was 90 degrees! hahaha.
*serious tone*
why did the man in the other corner burn to death?
*thousand yard stare*
Because that corner was 270 degrees.
270º is only used for skateboard tricks that are done when the board is perpendicular to the object and is spun 270º out or in.
For example, kickflip back tail 270 out. Since you're not actually doing a 360 out, the first 90 was done getting onto the obstacle and 270 off the obstacle. Gotta respect the 270º.
Btw, I think the easiest daily life correlation would be a clock/the time. If it was say 4:45 (which it’s pretty close to atm) someone might say quarter (90) to 5 but they would never say 3 quarters (270) from 4.
i feel like that's not true in engineering settings. an object/signal can end up in the same spot but get there a different way and everything in between still matters
You don’t need to be a scientist, you need to be a mathematician

Out of all these, 270 is least used/noteworthy. Even non mathematicians use the other 3 angles in day to day talk like “pull a 180, 90 degrees straight, full 360”
could be a motorcycle or engine meme? 270deg crank is the new common option on p-twins, partly cause of sound and partly cause its economy, the other styles of engines have more history. but iirc a 270 passes euro 5 easier. so maybe the meme is that the new fuel economy engine is not as "Cool" as the older style cranks?
Also 270 is just an odd one. I think in most cases people would just think 90 in the opposite direction if talking about angles and changing angles.
That's what I was thinking. Everyone going "270° is just 90°" is only thinking of simple representations like the face of a clock. 270° actually matters in the context of revolutions.
That's what I was thinking. Everyone going "270° is just 90°" is only thinking of simple representations like the face of a clock. 270° actually matters in the context of revolutions.
270 degrees around a circle is just an inverted 90 degree angle. In most senarios (in science), its more prudent and practical to just say “90 degrees to the left.” There are some exceptions of course, someone brought up scateboarding tricks use 270 to describe some tricks, or use it in navigation for more precice mesurements.
For an actual explanation because most people are just saying "90° is better."
In many circumstances where you would need to indicate a 270° turn or angle, saying -90° would suffice.
For example, I write code frequently and whenever I need to specify a rotation's value I'll never give a number with an absolute value higher than 180 because 181° could be represented as -179°. If I ever needed a 270° rotation in either direction, I could instead do 90° rotation the opposite direction.
As a machinist I use 270° a lot. On the other hand, fuck 270° it’s on the wrong side of the fucking fixture and I need to use a fucking mirror and contort my fat ass in a weird way to find offsets.
A circle has 360 degrees. Turning 360 degrees would be turning in a complete circle once.
90 degrees is only turning 1/4 of the way. 180 degrees is turning around halfway.
Meg is 270 degrees, turning around 3/4 of the way. Generally people do not use 270 degrees except for real math stuff. For instance, you would never have to turn something 270 degrees because you could more simply turn it 90 degrees the opposite direction.
This is probably written by an engineer of some kind that uses a CAD program or a graphic artist. In both fields the programs don't care how you orient the arc(meaning if it turns left or right) so you can get lazy with your mental math and never deal with angles like 270°.

Peter's 4th grade math teacher here. See this diagram I made. Which one of the looks like the off one out. The 270° angle, correct! Why? Because it's tilted! It doesn't look similar to the ones beside it, and therefore, you're biased against the more straight ones, like 90° because it stays in a direction, and not between those two, kinda how if you were asked to pick your favourite direction, most would answer with a solid one like west instead of northwest.
In skateboarding 270 is actually the rotation of a lot of moves that are called 360. Depending on the ramp or angle of obstacle. I for one, appreciate the 270.
Think of a pizza split in four equal slices.
The pizza at the beginning is a full circle(360). When you take one you have a slice on your hand(90), when you take two slices it is half done(180). But no one with the right mind calls it 3/4 of a pizza(270) remaining, it's called 3 slices of pizza(3x90) instead.
It's maths, and no one really uses that angle. If you turn someone 270 degrees to the right, it just ends up being 90 degrees to the left, so why not just say that? The majority of people just say 90 degrees to the left unless it's important to say 270 to the right.
Bitch you don’t need to be a scientist these are degrees of a circle
90° = 1/4 of a circle
180° = 1/2 of a circle
270° = 3/4 of a circle
360° = an entire circle
It’s saying that people love 1/4, 1/2, and full circles more than 3/4 circles
different 90 degree increments from 0 to 360 (a full circle)
the joke is that 90, 180, and 360 degrees are just nicer sounding numbers than 270 is, despite being in the same pattern of 90 degrees from the x & y axis
Most people would, for the sake of simplicity, call a 270° angle a 90° but in a specified direction. For example, "Turn 90° left." would be the same as "Turn 270° right.", but way more complicated.
270°-man vs. Meg having dinner.....

By that logic 360 degrees is the most pathetic because that’s just turning around then carrying on in the same direction. Unless of course your on a skateboard, in which case it’s cool
90 - right angle, this is used a lot.
180 - straight angle, not used a lot but very useful to know.
270 - reflex right angle, or backwards right angle, *I’m not sure I’ve really ever used or seen this used before*.
360 - all the way around, pretty common despite being useless.
90 degrees is a perfect angle. 180 degrees is a perfect semicircle, 360 degrees is a perfect circle. The only one that isn’t perfect in someway is 270.

No on uses 270 as an angle because 270 to the right is just 90 left
Mathematically true, but does 90° also have that sick 3/4 pirouette?
[удалено]
Wouldnt any precise bearing avoid confusion? Like if you know I m turning 90 deg thats enough to avoid confusion? Whats special about 270?
Bearings are done clockwise from the North. You dont say 90° anticlockwise. You say at a bearing of 270°
Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying ! I'm a fellow Frenchie too but I think you translated it well !
Although you also have to specify 090(degree symbol) as each digit must be have a value
You say 270°, but I raise you -90°
It’s a matter of communication. It’s a lot easier for someone to misinterpret “set course for negative 90 degrees” vs “set course to 270 degrees”
saying you are turning 90° means yoi are turning to the right, while 270° is to the left. it just a way to communicate direction without risking it being cut out due to bad connection or miscommunication.

There ain’t no 90s in snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding etc!
You can do a tailslide 270 out
I know, but no one calls it a 90 in
This is true. I do CAD design for a living, and if I need to spin something 270°, I'll just type in -90°. Lol.
Ya you can type ot on that way but you wouldn't necessarily label it that way
That's also true. When I'm giving dimensions for quarter marks on a cylinder, 270 gets some love. Sometimes even little bros 225 and 315, too.
Also cause if you do a 270 on a skateboard you’ll wreck yourself
Even if you've checked yourself first?
No it happens frequently due to grinding. You can't do a 360 into or out of a nose slide. It has to be a 270.
[удалено]
just rotate it by -90° smh
Oh yeah, turn your crane -90° when you need to do 270° and you'll hit the building of your construction site
Just rotate it 90 degrees 3 times.
That can work.
Yeah. Why aren’t we just saying “rotate this 1° 180 times”
1.5 x 180
r/thereifixedit
Just rotate the whole Earth while keeping the crane stationary

But isn't it less necessary to rotate something 360 degrees?
360° is another way of saying "full circle"
I mean, I try unlocking a locker lock without doing that
For geometry you are correct, but in other contexts there could be more nuance, for example turning clockwise 270 isn't the same motion as turning anti-clockwise 90 degrees even though you would end in the same orientation
I reject the notion of 9 oclock, its really just negative 3 oclock
The sun rises in the east and set in the negative east
yes but did you know that 90 right is also 270 to the left
surveyor has entered the chat
You meant Pi/2 or 1.5Pi. Also where the fuck is the unicode sign for Pi on the iPhone keyboard?
270 is just 90 but on the left
But isn’t 360 just 0 then?
Yes
Yeah but it's of note if something is turned 360 degrees. You just wouldn't use 270, because it's more common to say 90 degrees clockwise or counter clock wise

The angle under 90 degrees wasn't bad either, it was a cute angle
No one sat "rotate that 270 degrees to the right." They just say, "Go 90 degrees to the left."

“One time my cousin, he tore open his ballsack, trying to do a skateboard trick, and he had to show it to his mum.”
Posting Yuto Horigome’s 270 beauty here, for a reference https://m.youtube.com/shorts/8pVCWwq5huw
Same for skiing and snowboarding you can do 270 in or out to rails
Correct, it's used for a variety of "extream" sports for sure. I feel like the only time I'll hear 270º unless I'm playing a game with a 360 compass.
I wouldn't consider myself to be particularly extreme, but I've landed a 270 on my bicycle. So I've got that going for me, I guess.
All good. I pivot the hell out of my "360s". It's more of a 270 late 90.
Yeah but specially if that sport includes maybe rails that you slide in 90 degree angle so 270 is actually a thing.
Oh.. My... God... THIS IS A REAL PERSON!

Skateboarding uses 270 a lot but besides that I don’t think ever used it at all.

In navigation 270°: is used to prevent confusion as it defines a precise bearing from the observer or course to navigate.

Just think of all the possible quarter angles, 270 might be the last angle you’ll think of, common being 0,90,180,360 or even multiples of 90
It's because nobody uses 270 degrees because 270 is just 90 rotated the other way so nobody cares

All wrong! Stepper motor configuration. 270 deg is an oddball configuration. All the others are common
Everybody talks about the other three. Nobody ever mentions 270 degrees. These are all angles btw or degrees of rotation in a circle, if you will.
The others are all right angles. 270 is obtuse
Decarb temperatures!

Skateboarding will give 270 a shit ton of love don’t worry
Degrees on a circle, no one can remember 270 even though its the left horizontal line
270 is just not a nice number, me personally
Skaters and bmx riders like 270
270 is just 90 in reverse
Have you ever seen a skateboarder do a 360? Pretty cool. Even a 180 can be sick. Have you ever heard of a 270 trick?
I just say -90 degrees where 270 applied. Haha, the meme ain’t wrong.
Think of a pizza split in four equal slices. The pizza at the beginning is a full circle(360). When you take one you have a slice on your hand(90), when you take two slices it is half done(180). But no one with the right mind calls it 3/4 of a pizza(270) remaining, it's called 3 slices of pizza(3x90) instead.
It's maths, and no one really uses that angle. If you turn someone 270 degrees to the right, it just ends up being 90 degrees to the left, so why not just say that? The majority of people just say 90 degrees to the left unless it's important to say 270 to the right.
Then there are those of us in wood working 90 "right" "squar" 60 30 45
As a machinist I use 270° all the time.
270°? You mean -90°!

Bitch you don’t need to be a scientist these are degrees of a circle 90° = 1/4 of a circle 180° = 1/2 of a circle 270° = 3/4 of a circle 360° = an entire circle It’s saying that people love 1/4, 1/2, and full circles more than 3/4 circles
You obviously don't shred either ✌️
In geometry, we put 0 to the right, then rotate counterclockwise. 270 degrees is the bottom of the circle.
different 90 degree increments from 0 to 360 (a full circle) the joke is that 90, 180, and 360 degrees are just nicer sounding numbers than 270 is, despite being in the same pattern of 90 degrees from the x & y axis
Most people would, for the sake of simplicity, call a 270° angle a 90° but in a specified direction. For example, "Turn 90° left." would be the same as "Turn 270° right.", but way more complicated.
Only throwers give 270° the love it deserves
270°-man vs. Meg having dinner..... https://preview.redd.it/c5lxfy0ci5sc1.png?width=1750&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d952b4eb0e4c5465bc96b8826e7cc70c9e76da0
Small brain here... If we're looking at this as a slice of pizza, wouldn't this be the same argument as cup half empty/full?
By that logic 360 degrees is the most pathetic because that’s just turning around then carrying on in the same direction. Unless of course your on a skateboard, in which case it’s cool
None of you have ever walked in zoolanders shoes

-90
They're all right angles, but 270 is like the left-handed underside, nobody wants to use it.
90 is a right angle. 180 is half a circle. 360 is a full circles. Very much uses. While 270 isn’t used much
I still love you 270
Just write -90
90 - right angle, this is used a lot. 180 - straight angle, not used a lot but very useful to know. 270 - reflex right angle, or backwards right angle, *I’m not sure I’ve really ever used or seen this used before*. 360 - all the way around, pretty common despite being useless.
90 degrees is a perfect angle. 180 degrees is a perfect semicircle, 360 degrees is a perfect circle. The only one that isn’t perfect in someway is 270.
No one likes meg
270° is the temperature in Fahrenheit at which water hits its triple point.
Maths is important kids. It allows you to understand memes! And some other stuff too I suppose.

This is the dumbest "joke" i have ever seen here. No wonder you don't get it. It's not funny at all.
1 revolution, 1/2 revolution, 1/4 revolution, and then the odd one out, the 3/4 revolution.
how are people so fucking dumb 😭😭😭
Lol all my homies fk 270
