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

The short fat hand
When the short hand is on 1 and the long hand is on 3, it is 1:15. The short hand indicates the hour, while the long hand represents the minutes. Since the long hand is on the 3, it shows that 15 minutes have passed since the hour began.

one hour
long hand (min) on the 12 and the short hand (hour) on what ever hour it is
It takes the minute hand one hour to do this, and it takes the hour hand twelve hours to do it.
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.
We're assuming that you mean the "hands" on a clock. Short hand . . . the "hour hand", goes all the way around in 12 hours Long hand . . . the "minute hand", goes all the way around in 1 hour On some clocks, there's another long hand that you can see moving. That's the "second hand". It goes all the way around in 1 minute, 60 times in 1 hour.
Yes it is. The short hand is the hour hand. fo all you simple minded people out there
Short Hand- hour hand makes 2 rounds. Long hand - minute hand makes 24 rounds
'Big Ben' does not have an hour hand, it is a bell.
