Do you think that the circle is divided into 360 degrees because that's close to the number of days in a year?
it's remarkably close
Yes Jake, the only digit that doesn't easily go into it is seven.
And seven has great magical significance for me.

A circle is divided into 360 degrees for the purpose of angular measurement. 360° = 2 π rad is also called a round angle. This choice of unit allows round angle to be divided into equal sectors measured in integer degrees rather than fractional degrees. Many angles commonly appearing in planimetrics have integer number of degrees.
If you understand that you're a better man than me.
