minute hand	A minute hand is the longer hand on the type of watch or clock that uses "hands" to tell the time. The minute hand gives information about the minutes before or after an hour. The shorter hand on this type of clock is called the hour hand, and it tells you what hour it is.
second hand	a hand on a clock or watch that shows the seconds going by. The second hand is thinner than either the minute hand or the hour hand, and it goes around the clock faster. Sometimes it is a different color also.
