A sand clock, also known as an hourglass, works by using two glass bulbs connected by a narrow neck filled with sand. As the sand flows from one bulb to the other, it measures a specific amount of time. The time it takes for all the sand to flow from one bulb to the other is typically consistent, making it a simple and reliable timekeeping device.
