<angle>

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2015⁩.

The<angle>CSS data type represents an angle value expressed in degrees, gradians, radians, or turns. It is used, for example, in<gradient>s and in sometransform functions.

Try it

transform: rotate(45deg);

transform: rotate(3.1416rad);

transform: rotate(-50grad);

transform: rotate(1.75turn);

<section>  <div>    This box can rotate to different angles.  </div></section>

#example-element {  background-color: #0118f3;  padding: 0.75em;  width: 180px;  height: 120px;  color: white;}

The<angle> data type consists of a<number> followed by one of the units listed below. As with all dimensions, there is no space between the unit literal and the number. The angle unit is optional after the number0.

Optionally, it may be preceded by a single+ or- sign. Positive numbers represent clockwise angles, while negative numbers represent counterclockwise angles. For static properties of a given unit, any angle can be represented by various equivalent values. For example,90deg equals-270deg, and1turn equals4turn. For dynamic properties, like when applying ananimation ortransition, the effect will nevertheless be different.

Units

deg: Represents an angle indegrees. One full circle is360deg. Examples:0deg,90deg,14.23deg.
grad: Represents an angle ingradians. One full circle is400grad. Examples:0grad,100grad,38.8grad.
rad: Represents an angle inradians. One full circle is 2π radians which approximates to6.2832rad.1rad is 180/π degrees. Examples:0rad,1.0708rad,6.2832rad.
turn: Represents an angle in a number of turns. One full circle is1turn. Examples:0turn,0.25turn,1.2turn.
