Big Ben, the clock tower located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, has a minute hand that moves approximately 6 degrees every minute, as it completes a full rotation of 360 degrees in one hour. Since the minute hand is about 14 feet long, its tip travels a distance of about 1.46 feet (or roughly 0.44 meters) in one minute. This movement is a result of the clock's mechanism, which keeps precise time.
Big Ben's minute hands travel approximately 190km every year.
