An analog clock is a “clock that displays the time of day by the position of hands on a dial.” Source: thefreedictionary.com

An analog clock has two needles, or hands, the shorter of which points to the hour, and the longer of which points to minutes. The longer hand moves faster clockwise (following the numbers in order) and the shorter hand moves slowly from hour to hour in the same direction.

A digital clock is “a clock that displays the time of day digitally.”Source: thefreedictionary.com

The first two digits before the colon (double dots) show the hour from one to twelve. The last two digits after the colon show the minutes from zero to fifty-nine. As time progresses, the numbers get bigger on both sides!
