Question:

The two gear transmits to know the angle of rotation of one of the gears

The two gears transmit to know the angle of rotation of one of the gears and how to calculate the angle of rotation of the other. Thank you

Answer:

Because the gear meshing circle is tangent, the arc length is calculated from the angle of one of the gears, and then the rotation angle is calculated according to the radius of the other gear
Attention: when meshing gears, the dividing circle is not tangent. Only when the standard gear and the highly variable gear engage, the dividing circle is tangent. In practical application, the gears are mostly meshed by angle modification, and the dividing circle is not tangent.
For example, the two gears, the number of teeth are Z1 and Z2, Z1 gear rotation angle is A1,Then the angle of the Z2 gear is A2: A2=A1 * Z1/Z2
