There's a lot you could say about them. For example, if the hour hand is at 3 and the minute hand is at 12 (3:00), that represents a right angle, and the arc it intercepts would be 90 degrees as well (minor arc). Since the whole face of the clock is a circle of 360 degrees, the major arc in this example would be 360 - 90 = 270 degrees. When the clock reads 6:00 the hands divide the face into two semicircles of 180 degrees each.
