Explanation

At 6 o'clock, the minute hand is at 12 and the hour hand is at 6. The angle between them is a straight line, which is 180 degrees.

AI explanation

At 6 o'clock, the hour hand points exactly at the 6 and the minute hand points exactly at the 12. The clock face is a circle of 360 degrees divided into 12 hours, so each hour mark represents 30 degrees. Counting the 6 hour marks between the 12 and the 6 and multiplying by 30 degrees gives an angle of 180 degrees.
