Many real-world applications of geometry are represented with circles and geometric relationships found within circles. In astronomy, many orbits and planetary features are roughly circular, so scientists need to be able to calculate angle measures between parts of circles. The Barringer Crater in Arizona is an example of a nearly circular feature studied by astronomers.
