We often encounter clocks at many places in our daily life, like in our homes, offices, schools, shopping malls, etc. A clock tells us the time.

class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"1-hands-of-a-clock\">Hands of a Clock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The clock generally has three hands to tell us time \u2014 an hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand. Some analog clocks have only two hands: the shorter hand representing the hour and the longer hand indicating the minutes. The shorthand in a clock is called the hour hand, and the long hand is known as the minute hand. The hour hand tells us time in hours, while the minute hand on a clock tells us time in minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/hands-of-the-clock.png\" alt=\"Hands of the clock\" class=\"wp-image-40342\" title=\"Hands of the clock\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/hands-of-the-clock.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/hands-of-the-clock-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">An hour is a long period. We generally use hours to indicate when an activity takes a long time to complete. For example, we use hours to indicate the time we spend at school or while sleeping at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A minute is a short period. We often use it to indicate the time spent doing a short activity. For example, we use minutes to indicate the time we spend eating breakfast or watering our plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A clock has the numbers 1 to 12 marked serially on its face or dial. These numbers are placed at equal distances from each other. They divide the face of the clock into 12 equal parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11970\" title=\"Divisions on an analog clock\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The hour hand in a clock defines the space of an hour. When the hour hand moves from one number to the next on the clock face, it indicates 1 hour. For example, when the hour hand moves from 1 to 2 on the clock face, it means one hour has passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

Hand on a Clock?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The minute hand on a clock is the long hand that tells the minutes that have passed in that hour. In simple words, it indicates the time in minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The distance between two numbers on the clock face is divided into 5 small sections. Each of these small sections or divisions represents one minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/divisions-of-minutes-on-an-analog-clock.png\" alt=\"Divisions of minutes on an analog clock\" class=\"wp-image-40343\" title=\"Divisions of minutes on an analog clock\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/divisions-of-minutes-on-an-analog-clock.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/divisions-of-minutes-on-an-analog-clock-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">There are 60 small divisions on a clock face. When the hour hand moves from one number to the next, the minute hand goes through these 60 divisions. This means that there are 60 minutes in one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-how-to-read-time-to-the-minute\">How to Read Time to the Minute?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Take a look at the clock below. Here, the hour hand is pointing at 3, and the minute hand on the clock is pointing at 12. So, the time is 3 o\u2019clock. After 1 hour, the hour hand will be at 4, and the minute hand will be again at 12. The time will be 4 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-hours-on-an-analog-clock.png\" alt=\"Telling time in hours on an analog clock\" class=\"wp-image-40344\" title=\"Telling time in hours on an analog clock\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-hours-on-an-analog-clock.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-hours-on-an-analog-clock-300x256.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In this duration of 1 hour, the hour hand will move from 3 to 4. But the minute hand will move one whole cycle of the clock face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">To read the time in minutes, we look at the number to which the minute hand points. We use skip counting by 5 to read the position of the minute hand on the clock face, i.e., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The figure below shows the minute count corresponding to each of the 12 divisions on a clock face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-minutes-on-an-analog-clock.png\" alt=\"Telling time in minutes on an analog clock\" class=\"wp-image-40345\" title=\"Telling time in minutes on an analog clock\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-minutes-on-an-analog-clock.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-minutes-on-an-analog-clock-300x280.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s understand this with an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Take a look at the clock below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-to-the-exact-minute.png\" alt=\"Telling time to the exact minute\" class=\"wp-image-40346\" title=\"Telling time to the exact minute\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-to-the-exact-minute.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-to-the-exact-minute-300x242.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the hour hand is between 10 and 11. The minute hand is at 4. We skip count by 5 to determine the minutes that have passed in that hour 4 times, i.e., 5, 10, 15, 20. This indicates that 20 minutes have passed in that hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This means 20 minutes have passed after 10 o&#8217;clock. And we write this time as 10:20. The number before the colon here represents the hour and the number after the colon represents the number of minutes that have passed since that hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1: What time is shown on the clock below?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-half-hours.png\" alt=\"Telling time in half hours\" class=\"wp-image-40347\" title=\"Telling time in half hours\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-half-hours.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-half-hours-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the hour hand is between 12 and 1, and the minute hand on the clock points towards 6.

This means that when the minute hand points to 6 on the dial, it is 30 minutes past the current hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the time is 12:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2: Tell the time as seen on the given clock.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-quarter-hours.png\" alt=\"Telling time in Quarter hours\" class=\"wp-image-40348\" title=\"Telling time in Quarter hours\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-quarter-hours.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/telling-time-in-quarter-hours-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the hour hand is between 7 and 8, and the minute hand one the clock points at 3.
