SELECT DEGREES(PI()/3) AS `Value in Degrees`;

-- Degree of string value
SELECT DEGREES('6.74') AS `Value in Degrees`;

SELECT DEGREES('MySQL') AS `Value in Degrees`;

From the below screenshot you can see, we used MySQL DEGREES function on different values. Here, we assigned a new name to the result as ‘Value in Degrees’ using ALIAS Column.
