During the course of a full 24 hour day, the hour and minute hands of an analog clock lay in a straight line 22 times: 11 times in the morning and 11 times in the afternoon/evening, as follows:
12:32AM, 01:38AM, 02:43AM, 03:49AM, 04:54AM, 06:00AM,
07:05AM, 08:10AM, 09:16AM, 10:21AM, 11:27AM
then
12:32PM, 01:38PM, 02:43PM, 03:49PM, 04:54PM, 06:00PM,
07:05PM, 08:10PM, 09:16PM, 10:21PM, 11:27PM
Eight times in a day the hands of a clock form straight angle. At first they form straight angle when the hour amd minute hand are on 3 and 9 in noon and night. Second, when the hour amd minute hand are on 9 and 3 in morning and night. Third when the hour amd minute hand are on 12 and 6 At last when the hour amd minute hand are on 6 and 12.
circular
24, or 48 if u count when they overlap
The hour hand goes straight up 2 times a day. The minute hand goes straight up 24 times a day. They both go straight up together at the same time 2 times a day.

You can draw a straight line in a clock when the hour hand, and the minute hand, are facing the opposite direction to each other. For an example 6:00,2:45,etc
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.
