So that you can tell the time a bit more accurately. Long ago clocks just had one hand and you could tell the time roughly to the hour. Now we can tell the time to the minute.
On a clock when the big hand is facing the 11 and the little hand faces the 4, the time is 3:55.
On a clock when the big hand is facing the 6 and the little faces the 5, it would be 5:30.
In one day, big hand - 24 little hand - 12

The little hand on the clock is known as the hour hand.
The little hand is the hour hand on a clock, while the big hand is the minutes.

By not learning the meaning of the big hand and little hand
The big hand or longer hand points to the minutes. The small hand or shorter hand points to the hour. The constantly moving hand (ticker) moves according to the seconds.
No. The little hand is the minute hand. The big hand is the hour hand. The long hand is not the big hand, it is the little hand. The short hand is not the little hand, it is the big hand. Grab a dictionary and research the meaning of big, little, short, and long. The shorter hand is the "BIG" hand because it identifies the larger unit of time < hour >. The longer hand it the "LITTLE" hand because it identifies the smaller unit of time <minute>. If you have missed this part of the concept of measuring time then you have been listeniing to a misinformed moron who just taught school for the paycheck and did not understand what they were doing.
When it is 5:45 on a digital clock, the big hand of an analog clock would be on the number 9.
The Clock has both a big hand and a small hand. The big hand is the longer one and it shows you how many minutes. The small hand is the shorter one and it shows you what hour of the day it is.
