In one day, big hand - 24 little hand - 12
So that you can tell the time a bit more accurately. Long ago clocks just had one hand and you could tell the time roughly to the hour. Now we can tell the time to the minute.
The Clock has both a big hand and a small hand. The big hand is the longer one and it shows you how many minutes. The small hand is the shorter one and it shows you what hour of the day it is.
It means you have to leave at 1:10 pm, assuming they don't want you to leave in the middle of the night. The little hand on the clock is at the 1, and big hand is at the 2.
The short one Yes, the hour hand is traditionally shorter than the minute hand. However, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. That means the minute hand is known as the LITTLE hand since a minute is LITTLE when compared to an hour. This is the historical explanation of the labels for the two hands, based on function an expressed in form by the hour hand having a broader, albeit shorter, design than the minute hand which is longer but narrower. Hour = bigger than minute = the BIG hand Minute = smaller than hour = the LITTLE hand

It is when the big hand on a clock face is at 54 and the little hand is a tiny bit short of 1 (27 degrees instead of 30 degrees).
It's an analog clock. The BIG hand tells which hour you are in because an hour is the bigger unit of time measure and the minute is the smaller unit. The little hand tells what minute of the current hour you are in. Granted, most analog clocks have one longer hand and one shorter hand but they are correctly referred to as BIG for hour and LITTLE for minute. Think about it, function over form. Don't be a sheep, this is the original reasoning behind the size and shape of the hands.
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.
Yes, the Big Hand on a clock is typically the Hour Hand. It indicates the current hour on the clock face, while the Little Hand, or Minute Hand, indicates the minutes.

He just got one a little while ago.
It means you have to leave at 1:10 pm, assuming they don't want you to leave in the middle of the night. The little hand on the clock is at the 1, and big hand is at the 2.
One hand equals 4 inches.
He is the little one
