Clocks

In our world we have digital clocks ...

Digital Clocks

Digital Clocks show us the time using numbers. The number on the left of the : is Hours, and the number on the right is Minutes:

     
 
5 Hours and 8 Minutes
9 Hours and 36 Minutes

Clocks with Hands

Clocks can also use hands to show us the Hours and Minutes.

The Little Hand shows the Hours:

 
2 Hours   5 Hours

The Big Hand shows the Minutes:

 
30 Minutes
