There is no angle "between" one hand of a clock.

In a clock with 12 hour readings, at 6:30 am the minute hand would be directly on 6 and the hour hand would be mid way between 6 and 7. Between any two markings on this clock the angle is 360/12 = 30 degrees. Since minute hand is precisely on 6 and hour hand is exactly half way between 6 and 7, the angle between them at 6:30 am is 30/2 = 15 degrees
When it is 7:00, the hour hand and minute hand of a 12-hour clock form a 150° angle.
An acute Angle is smaller than a right angle, for example: If you have the Big hand on the 12 and the small hand on the 2 the inside angle is a acute angle
At 6.30 minute hand will be at 6 and hour hand will be at center of 6 and 7. Thus angle will be 360/(12*2) = 150
If we simply imagine the minute hand is on the 6, and the hour hand is on the two, there will be a total of 120 degrees between the minute and the hour hand, 1/3 of the clock is covered between the two hands. However, it is not that simple. Because 30 minutes has travelled, the hour hand will be half way between the 2 and the 3. We know that every hour, the hour hand moves 30 degrees (360 / 12 hours = 30). Therefore, in 30 minutes, it will have travelled 15 degrees. Which means the hour hand is 15 degrees closer to the minute hand. Therefore, the actual angle between the minute and hour hand is actually 105 degrees.
