In a 12 hour clock, the whole circle (360 degrees) is divided into 12 numbered divisions each representing an hour. The angle traversed by the hour hand in one hour is (360/12) = 30 degrees. So the time taken to traverse 1 degree is (1/30) hour which is (60/30) = 2 minutes

What is the big hand on the clock called?

The long hand is called the minute hand, the shorter fat one is called the hour hand. Based on historical design the BIG hand is the hour hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. Function first, then form. Traditionally clocks had fatter hands for hour and thinner hands for minute, thus BIG is hour and LITTLE is minute. Yes the minute hand is usually longer than the hour hand but on most clocks the hour hand is larger not just shorter. Don't confuse long, big, little, and short.
