::::Circular angles are based on the concept of a full circle, where one complete revolution is equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.
::::Circular angles can exceed 360° or 2π radians, representing multiple revolutions or fractional parts of a revolution. [[User:Yuthfghds|Yuthfghds]] ([[User talk:Yuthfghds|talk]]) 06:17, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
:::::"Linear angles" is not a term used in technical literature or curriculum that I have seen. Most of the results in a search for "linear angle" seem to be using it as a synonym for "straight angle" (i.e. a half turn, 180°). Where did you get these names? Do you have a source? I would call this instead something like "angular distance" or "angular separation" (or just "angle"). I agree that this article should do a better job about talking about different concepts of angle, and I have started gathering sources for hopefully an eventual rewrite/rework. –[[user:jacobolus|jacobolus]] [[User_talk:jacobolus|(t)]] 06:45, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
