no! there is even no rational number  n, except zero, such that sin (n) is  rational.  actually the only rational values of  sin (x) are: 0, ±(1/2), ±1.  ⇒see also Niven′s theorem

$${no}!\:{there}\:{is}\:{even}\:{no}\:{rational}\:{number} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{n}},\:{except}\:{zero},\:{such}\:{that}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\boldsymbol{{n}}\right)\:{is} \\ $$$${rational}. \\ $$$${actually}\:{the}\:{only}\:{rational}\:{values}\:{of} \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}\right)\:{are}:\:\mathrm{0},\:\pm\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}},\:\pm\mathrm{1}. \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{see}\:{also}\:{Niven}'{s}\:{theorem} \\ $$
