Answer: The hour hand of a clock makes one complete rotation, 360 degrees, in 12 hours or 720 minutes.

The hour hand of a clock turns 30 degrees in one hour or 0.5 degrees in one minute.

In this case, the hour hand is turned anticlockwise from 2 pm to 9 am, which is 21 hours.

So, it will have turned 21 * 30 = 630 degrees.

It is important to note that this answer only accounts for the rotation of the hour hand and does not take into account the rotation of the minute hand.
