the title says its all, how to get the Part’s Cframe angle?
The CFrame consists of 12 numbers
x, y, z, R00, R01, R02, R10, R11, R12, R20, R21, R22
the first 3 numbers are the position vector
the last 9 numbers are the rotation matrix
the rotation matrix does not have any angles it has directions
this is what the directions look like
and each of these directions have a magnitude of 1 so there unit vectors
if we look at the documentation CFrame | Roblox Creator Documentation we can see that Roblox has provided us with functions called ToEulerAnglesXYZ() and ToEulerAnglesYXZ() we can use these functions to convert the rotation matrix to angles
local cFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Vector3.new(10, 7, 2), Vector3.new(8, 6, -20))
local eulerAngles = CFrame:ToEulerAnglesYXZ()
print(eulerAngles)
but most of the time its not good to work with euler angles due to gimble lock so its always better to work with the rotation matrix directly

What application do you need these angles for?
