The minute hand of a clock turns about 360 degrees each hour.
The hour hand will rotate once around a clock every 12 hours. Therefore, in a regular, 365 day year, the hour hand will make 365 x 2 = 730 rotations, while in a leap year, it will make 366 x 2 = 732 rotations.

Every day the hour had travels once round the clock in the morning and one round the clock in the afternoon, so it travels twice round the clock in 1 day. There are 7 days in a week, thus the hour hand travels 7 x 2 = 14 times round the clock in a week.
