No, it is a semi-tone or half-step, at least on a piano. There can be the system of microtones in which there are even smaller gaps in between notes. A piano can be tuned in this way, but it is not very common.
The interval from B to C is a minor second (m2) or a half step.
One whole step.
A leap is an interval larger than a major second or whole step.
The interval between C and D is a major second or a "whole step".
The nearest distance ascending from C to D is just a single whole step, aka a major 2nd interval. The nearest distance ascending from D to C on the whole tone scale is just a whole step shy of an octave, which would be a minor 7th interval.
A half step in music is the smallest interval between two notes. It is the distance of one key on a piano. A whole step is two half steps put together, or the distance of two keys on a piano.

The interval between two notes that are a melodic 2nd apart is one whole step.
An interval is the distance between two pitches. These intervals are measured in half-steps and whole steps. For example, a half-step is like C to Db. A whole step would be C to D. A major scale is made up of these steps as so: C MAJOR Whole step, Whole step, Half step, Whole step, Whole step, Whole step, Half step. C to D, D to E, E to F, F to G, G to A, A to B, B to C WWHWWWH You may have noticed that from E to F and from B to C it was a half step just as if it were from C to Db. This is because these pitches are simply a half step away from each other.
No, it's a half step. E to F is a half step, and if both are flat, the interval remains the same.
The interval between C and D is a major second or a "whole step".
The nearest distance ascending from C to D is just a single whole step, aka a major 2nd interval. The nearest distance ascending from D to C on the whole tone scale is just a whole step shy of an octave, which would be a minor 7th interval.
An interval is the distance between two notes.Example: The interval between C and C-sharp is a half step.The interval between C and D is a whole step!Another Times T2 crossword answer to 14d... entre'acte
