Clock Hands
Clock hands are the moving indicators on a clock face that show the time. Typically, there are three hands: the hour hand, the minute hand, and the second hand. The hour hand is the shortest and moves slowly, completing one full rotation every 12 hours. The minute hand is longer and moves faster, completing a rotation every hour. The second hand is the thinnest and moves continuously, making a full rotation every minute.
Each hand points to numbers or markers on the clock face, which represent the hours and minutes. The position of the hands helps people read the time easily. For example, when the hour hand points to 3 and the minute hand points to 12, it indicates 3:00. Understanding how clock hands work is essential for telling time accurately.
