I was wondering about the mechanism of an hourglass. How does it actually function? I'm curious to know how the SAND flows and how it measures time.

In the context of an hourglass, gravity acts on the SAND grains, causing them to fall.

The sand falls at a relatively constant speed when considering the small distance involved in an hourglass.

This consistency in the falling speed of the SAND makes the hourglass a reliable tool for measuring time.
