Ancient methods of measuring hours in the absence of sunlight included fire clocks, such as the notched candle and the Chinese practice of burning a knotted rope. All fire clocks were of a measured size to approximate the passage of time, noting the length of time required for fire to travel from one knot to the next.Protractors, which are semi-circular measurement tools, were used in ancient times to measure angles between two intersecting lines. There is little difference between what they looked like then and now. The semi-circular tool is marked with angle measurements from 0 to 180 degrees. Protractors first were identified as being used in the 1600s.
