Explanation - Analogue time

Analogue Time


We can read from our phones, iPads, and most importantly a watch.
But most watches that are used use analogue time.
Do you know how to read analogue time?
First we need to learn the basics, lets start of with clock
hands that are used in analogue time.


The short hand, symbolises each hour.
Therefore the long hand tells minutes.
Did you know that the hour hand moves continuously overnight
and in the morning. You might find this odd but it’s true.
The second hand moves every seconds day and night.


The main numbers that are used on the face of the clock is
12, 3, 6 and 9. You can also see five little lines in the middle of
the gap for each number. Therefore you can use the 5 times
table to read analogue time. Under each big number is the 5
times table going up to 60.


Have you ever wondered why the numbers on the clock face are used?
So basically numerals are another word for numbers. On a clock we
have 4 main numbers that are always mentioned in analogue
12 ,3, 6, 9. This resembles past the hour & to the hour
On the right side of a clock represents past and the left to the hour
Now you should understand the process of how analogue time works.
Also you don't need any iPads, or phones to be used to read time.
