Second of Angle and Second of Arc
- $x' '$
The symbol used to denote seconds of angle and seconds of arc is $' '$.
Thus $x' '$ denotes $x$ seconds
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(x' '\) is x' ' .
Beware: there needs to be a space between the two ' characters, or the MediaWiki software interprets the combination as an instruction to render text in italics.
