A clinometer, also called a declinometer or an inclinometer, is an instrument that measures vertical slope, usually the angle between the ground or the observer and a tall object. A simple, or ''fixed angle'', clinometer requires plenty of room to walk back and forth when measuring object. A ''protractor clinometer'' lets you measure while standing in place, and is an easy-to-make version of the clinometers frequently used in astronomy, surveying, engineering, and forestry. | A clinometer, also called a declinometer or an inclinometer, is an instrument that measures vertical slope, usually the angle between the ground or the observer and a tall object.
