A degree was a measurement derived from dividing a circle into 360 equal parts. A degree was further divided into sixty minutes of arc, which in turn contained sixty seconds of arc.[1] When the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 took photographs as part of a star mapping mission on Stardate 1512.1, they overlapped the images by one degree.[2]

A degree was also a unit of temperature measurement. The planet Alfa 177 dropped to -120 degrees each night — whether that was on the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale was never stated, though the difference between scales was irrelevant at that temperature.[3]
