What do you call a clock that has a minute hand and a hour hand?
It's an analog clock. The BIG hand tells which hour you are in because an hour is the bigger unit of time measure and the minute is the smaller unit. The little hand tells what minute of the current hour you are in. Granted, most analog clocks have one longer hand and one shorter hand but they are correctly referred to as BIG for hour and LITTLE for minute. Think about it, function over form. Don't be a sheep, this is the original reasoning behind the size and shape of the hands.

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.

Which hand on a clock is the hour hand?
The short one Yes, the hour hand is traditionally shorter than the minute hand. However, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. That means the minute hand is known as the LITTLE hand since a minute is LITTLE when compared to an hour. This is the historical explanation of the labels for the two hands, based on function an expressed in form by the hour hand having a broader, albeit shorter, design than the minute hand which is longer but narrower. Hour = bigger than minute = the BIG hand Minute = smaller than hour = the LITTLE hand
