AI explanation

At 12 o'clock, both the hour hand and the minute hand align perfectly at the 12 mark. The formula for the angle between clock hands is theta equals the absolute value of 30 times the hour minus 5.5 times the minutes, which results in 0 degrees when substituting 0 for both values. The result is 0 degrees.
