because a minute is faster than an hour.
The little hand on a clock is the hour hand. It indicates the current hour, while the longer hand, known as the minute hand, shows the minutes. Together, they help to tell the exact time.
Yes, the second hand is typically the longest hand on a clock, designed to be more visible for tracking seconds. However, there are some clock designs where the minute hand might be longer, but this is less common. In standard analog clocks, the second hand is usually the longest to distinguish it from the minute and hour hands.

On a clock, the longer hand is the minute hand and the shorter hand is the hour hand. Also, the especially thin one that moves the fastest is the second hand.

The time period of a nimute hand on the clock is one minute since it takes a minute for it to complete one oscillation, ie., one complete cycle of the clock.
The minute hand of a clock turns about 360 degrees each hour.
The minute hand is the largest hand on most analogue clocks. At 3 o'clock on a 12-hour clock, the minute hand is pointing straight up to the 12. It measures time to the nearest minute by advancing one of the small minute hash marks every 60 seconds. Every time the second hand makes one full sweep of the clock face, the minute hand advances one of the minute marks. The second hand is the fastest moving hand on a standard analogue clock, making one full sweep every 60 seconds.
The least count of a clock with an hour hand and a minute hand is typically one minute. This is because the minute hand moves in increments of one minute, allowing for the most precise measurement of time that can be observed directly on the clock face. While the hour hand indicates hours, its movement is less precise for measuring time intervals compared to the minute hand. Thus, the least count is determined by the finer divisions, which are represented by the minute hand.
