Time is measured by a watch or a clock.


            Every clock or watch has two needles. Hour hand                        is the shortest needle and

            the minute hand         is longer needle.

            A clock or watch also has, the third needle. It is the thinnest and the largest

            one. It is called the second hand             . But, we measure the time with the help of

            only two hands— hour hand and minute hand.

              The second hand completes one round on the dial in 1 minute.

            Before  reading  the  time  in  a  watch,  see  the  following  table  for  time

            measurement.


                                    60 seconds (sec.)            =      1 minute (min.)


                                    60 minutes                   =      1 hour (hr.)

                                    24 hours                     =      1 day


                                    7 days                       =      1 week

                                    4 weeks                      =      1 month (about)


                                    12 months                    =      1 year











             3600 seconds                 =      1 hour


             52 weeks                     =      1 year

             365/366 days                 =      1 year
