The circle is a known geometry. We have been reading it since childhood. We started to learn how many cross-sections to grow up!  But has it ever occurred to you that no matter how much this circle is divided, why is the whole circle 360?

 No, it could be another number; for example, let's say a known and desired number is 100. Why is it not the value of the whole circle?

 I asked this question to one of my uncles when I was young. He told me, this is the system!  It has been caught.   Whatever it uncle's words are also correct. It has already been caught.  But why should 360 be caught?  Could you catch anything else?

 So today, I will write why the whole circle is 360 ° (degree).

 There are many reasons for this. Many blame the dependence on the rotation time of the sun around the earth, But there may be more important reasons than that.

 There are mathematical and historical reasons as well as religious reasons

 1) Mathematical reasons behind the circle being 360 degrees

 2) The probability of a circle is 360 depending on the length of the year

 3) Historical reasons

 4) Circle 360: - The verse mentioned in the Hindu scripture Rigveda.

 Mathematical reasons:

 The number 360 is beautiful. This is because it is divisible by all numbers except from 1-10. Again, the divisible number of 360 is 24, which is a little more than such a number!  As a result, it is like dividing into small parts.

 For example, if we divide 360 ​​by 3, we get 120. Again by 4, we get 90. Thus there is hardly a divisible number divided by such a close number. If 100 were taken in its place, then divisible by 4, or 25 by four equal parts could be matched.  But if it was divided by 3, it could not be divided evenly, So to make this calculation easier and finer, 360 can be taken as a measure of a complete circle!  Because 360 ​​is very beautifully divisible.

 Catch the whole circle 360 ​​to match the length of the year

 The people of the East first calculated one year by looking at the position of the sun  What was needed was in many sectors, including agriculture. Then they realized that the sun rotates once in 365 days, And at the same time, they saw that in the same way, the seasons and the seasons would come back again and again at the same time.  Thus the Persians made a calendar, but it was 6 in 360 days, Which would add an extra month to their calendar with an additional 5 days after 8 years. That rotation, that is, the rotation of a circle with a circular motion, may give the number 360 the measure of a circle.

 Historical reasons behind the size of the circle being 360 degrees:

 Many people think that this 360 number of circles is the Babylonians' use of 80 based numbers!  We use common decimal numbers or decimal numbers, but the Babylonians used sexagesimal numbers there!

 A circle is completed on 6 equilateral triangles, And since the Babylonians considered 70 as the basis for a triangle, the basis of a complete circle for 6 is 360.  That could be the reason too!

 The verses mentioned in the Hindu scripture Rigveda may also be the reason behind the 360-degree circle!

 "Twelve months of the year cycle rotate like R. At its centers are the summer and winter seasons. These three seasons. Who knows this theory? This cycle is 360 days, like a wedge. It is no exception."

 (Rigveda, 1/184/48) (Translation collected)

 Here it is mentioned that the cycle is divided by 360 wedges, And naturally, ancient India was the land of many philosophers and mathematicians!  And those philosophers can determine the size of the circle 360 ​​according to the holy scriptures.  But it is only a realization. Its historical truth has not been proven!

 In the end, it is the Babylonians who are considered to be the most important part of the circle. However, it is not known specifically. Guess everything!
