    Definitions -> M -> Minute Hand

 Minute Hand


The large hand on a clock that points to the minutes.

It goes once around the clock every hour.

Example: in this clock, the large hand is just past the "3", and if you count the little marks, it shows that it is 18 past the hour. The small hand points towards 8, so it is 18 past 8.
