How far does the long hand travel in an hour?

The long hand makes one complete revolution around the clock in one hour. It travels 360 degrees in rotation, or 2 pi radians.

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.


How long does the hour hand take to go from one number to another?
