Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

The question requires some additional information in order to be answered. First, I am assuming that the degrees are circular in nature (as opposed to temperature).
Degrees of arc are a relative measure depending on the distance away from the center point of the arc. Thus, if you are 1 meter from the center point and you go up 1 meter, then you have a 45 degree angle (imagine an equilateral triangle). If it was one kilometer (1000 meters) out and 1 kilometer up, the angle is still 45, conversely, 1 mm out and 1 mm up is 45 degrees.
SO
you need to tell us a little more about how far out and how high up. Then you can use a protractor, a table, or a calculator to calculate your angle depending on what information you have.
