No, but the way that scientists measured the speed of light was having a group of scientists stand on two mountains within visibility, then one group flashes open a light or lantern and they count how long it takes to reach the other mountain using a stopwatch. Then they subtract human reaction time to the equation and do some simple equation using the time they counted to find the speed of light.

What was Albert michelson invention of speed of light?
A. A. Michelson was not interested in measuring the speed of light.He only measured how it changes if you move toward the light, awayfrom it, or sideways. (It doesn't.)
What tool measures a graduated cylinder?
Graduated cylinder is a tool to measure volumes.
Was Galileo the first scientist to estimate the speed of light?
Yes I THINK.But he was only measuring from one mile so he got 0.000005 sec.
How AA michelson measured correctly the speed of light?
Michelson was not interested in measuring the speed of light. His experimentwas designed to measure the difference in the speed of light over two pathsof equal length. He never detected any difference, which tossed the world ofPhysics on its ear.
Who was the noble prize winner for the speed of light?
Nobel Peace prizes are awared to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". Not for discoveries in physics. There is a separate Nobel prize for physics, but it doesn't seem as if any of those were awared in relation to measuring the speed of light.
What tool for measuring the space?
light speed:)
What is a tool for measuring wind speed?
Anemometer
What tool is used to measure?
There are many instruments (tools) used for measuring. It depends on what you're measuring. A ruler can be used to measure length, a watch to measure time and an anemometer for measuring wind speed.

What is a laser and its uses?
Well.. One thing I can name is laser hair removal. <><><> LASER means Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light is different from other light. It is tightly focused, and it is "coherent" light-it is all lined up traveling in the same direction. Lasers are used in communication, medicine, measuring distance, as a cutting tool in metal fabrication, measuring speed, and yes, removing hair.
A balance would be the best tool for measuring?
A balance is the best tool for measuring mass.

What is a tool for measuring and drawing angles?
A protractor is the common tool used in mathematics for measuring and drawing angles.
What is a tool for measuring an angle?
That tool is called a protractor.
