About the Clock Angle Calculator

The minute hand moves 6° per minute, and the hour hand moves 0.5° per minute (30° per hour plus a small offset from the minutes). The angle between them is the absolute difference, taking the smaller of the two possible angles.

Formula: Minute angle = 6m · Hour angle = 30h + 0.5m · Angle = min(|hour angle − minute angle|, 360 − |hour angle − minute angle|)
