In our world we have digital clocks (with digits like 0,1,2,3):

And analog clocks (with hands):

Digital Clocks

Digital Clocks show us the time using numbers, like this:

Hours  :  Minutes

Examples:

clock digital 5:08   clock digital 9:36
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. We call them "analog" clocks.

The Little Hand shows the Hours:

hour 2
2 Hours
hour 2
5 Hours

The Big Hand shows the Minutes:

hour 2
30 Minutes
hour 2
15 Minutes

Using both the Big Hand and Little Hand lets us know exactly what time it is:

time 2:30
2:30 or
Half-Past Two
time 5:15
5:15 or
Quarter-Past Five
