Unit Definition (minute) The minute is a unit of angular measure equal to 60 arcseconds or to 1/60 degree. This unit is often called the arcminute to distinguish it from the minute of time. There are 21 600 arcminutes in a circle. The SI defines min as the symbol for the time unit and recommends ' as the symbol for the arcminute. The symbol moa ("minute of angle") is often used in target shooting.
