Hour Hand
Definition of Hour Hand
The hour hand is the shortest hand on the clock.
It moves more slowly around the clock than the minute hand, and tells us which hour it is.
In the clock in the picture, the hour hand is just past the \(2\), so we know that the time is some number of minutes past \(2\) o'clock.
The hour hand takes \(12\) hours (half a day) to go around the clock once.
