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.

How long does it take for the hour hand to go around the clock?
12 hours
How far around the clock does the long hand travel in 1 hour?
It travels once around the clock per hour. (It rotates 360 degrees.)
How many times does the hour hand rotates?
The answer depends on over what period of time. A millisecond, a year, a decade and - if your watch or clock survives that long (though you won't) - a millennium?
How do you read a clock?
the long hand is the minute hand the short hand is the hour hand the short hand show the hours the minute hand show minutes the long goes by 5's so if it was on the 4 i would be 20 mins
How long is 0.3 of an hour?
It is: 0.3 times 60 = 18 minutes
