Natural units are units of measurement that arise when a physical constant, such as Planck's constant or the speed of light in a vacuum, is set to a dimensionless value such as one.[1]

Radians used in geometry are one example of a natural constant, since they are defined so that pi radians make a half-turn (more widely known as 180 degrees).
