Which way of telling time uses sand?
An hourglass uses sand to measure time. Sand flows through a narrow passage between two glass bulbs, with the amount of sand left indicating how much time has passed.
How many grains of sand are there in an hour glass?
If 10 grains of sand fall in an hourglass every second, then the total number of grains that fall in an hour = 10/sec x 60 sec/min x 60 min/hour = 36,000 grains per hour. Interestingly, this is very close to the number of days in our lives if we live to be 100, i.e. 365.25 x 100 = 36,525. Thus, the phrase "Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives" spoken in every episode of the TV series "Days of Our Lives" is closer to the truth than I think the original writers realized.

How do hourglass clocks work?
Hourglass clocks, or sand timers, work by allowing sand to flow from one chamber to another through a narrow passage. Gravity pulls the sand down, and the flow rate is determined by the size of the passage and the amount of sand. Once all the sand has moved to the lower chamber, the timer can be flipped to start the process again. The duration of the timer is based on the amount of sand and the design of the hourglass.
When was the sand timer invented?

How do sand clocks work?
The ''Sand Clock'' is really called an Hourglass, and the reason for that is because it takes the sand and hour to reach the other end of the glass. An hourglass is a curved shaped object that has two ends. The hourglass Has sand inside it which Is placed at the bottom of the hourglass, but when you turn the hourglass up side down, the sand slowly runs through a hole to the other end of the glass. When the sand has finally finished flowing it will end up looking like how it was in the first place.
