How many degrees are in a full circle?

Explanation:
A full turn around a point is measured as 360 degrees. This convention comes from dividing the circle into 360 equal parts, so the entire rotation adds up to 360. A straight angle is 180 degrees (half a circle), a right angle is 90 degrees (a quarter of a circle), and 400 degrees would exceed a full circle. In radians, a full circle is 2π, which corresponds to 360 degrees.
