it is closer to the center
It depends on the mechanism.
see you in an hour. Of course it takes more than an hour for the hour hand (the "BIG" hand) and the minute hand (the "LITTLE" hand) to line up but it does happen once each hour. Keep in mind, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute, which is indicated by the LITTLE hand.
On a clock, 10 to 9 looks like the hour hand pointing slightly before the 9 and the minute hand pointing at the 2, which represents 10 minutes before the hour of 9. This means the time is 8:50. The hour hand is closer to the 9 than to the 8, indicating that it's approaching 9 o'clock.
Five minutes before midday is 11:55 AM. This is the time just before noon, when the hour hand is still pointing towards 12 but is closer to 11.
It takes twelve hours for the hour hand to move 360 degrees In half an hour the hour hand moves 15 degrees
It depends on the mechanism.
If the little hand is on the 1 and the big hand is on the 6, it is 1:30. The little hand represents the hour, which is between 1 and 2, and the big hand represents the minutes, which is at the 6, indicating 30 minutes past the hour.
inaccurate
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.
The short hand is the hour hand on a clock.

Any watch hand, whether it be hour, minute, or second, always moves clockwise. In answer to your question: yes.
