We're assuming that you mean the "hands" on a clock.

Short hand . . . the "hour hand", goes all the way around in 12 hours

Long hand . . . the "minute hand", goes all the way around in 1 hour

On some clocks, there's another long hand that you can see moving. That's the

"second hand". It goes all the way around in 1 minute, 60 times in 1 hour.
