What is a sextant?

A sextant, as a unit of angle, is one sixth of a circle: 60 degrees. Six of them make a full turn, and it is also the angle inside each corner of an equilateral triangle.

The name is shared with the navigation instrument used to measure the height of the Sun or a star above the horizon, which was built to cover about a sixth of a circle.
