An analog clock is a timekeeping device that displays the time using hands, a dial, and markings that represent hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds. The clock typically has two or three hands that rotate around the dial to indicate the current time. The shorter hand represents the hours, the longer hand represents the minutes, and in some cases, a third hand represents the seconds. Analog clocks are commonly used in homes, offices, schools, and other settings where timekeeping is essential. They are often powered by batteries or a mechanical mechanism and come in a variety of designs and sizes.
