The paper reviews the uses of atomic clocks to illustrate the new relativistic or gravitational phenomena of post-Newtonian gravitation. Progress in space technology made the entire solar system available as a gravitation laboratory, and the atomic clock with stability in the 10 to the -16th region can measure distance and velocity, and investigate the behavior of time. Experimental gravitation is considered, noting that it is aimed to devise tests to demonstrate the relativistic perception of space time; Misner's list (1970) of four classes of experiments to identify the aspects of gravity being tested, and the application of the clock in each case are discussed. These experiments are: (1) tests of foundations of general relativity, including direct measurements of red shift and a search for possible nonmetric behavior; (2) solar system tests, exemplified by deflection of radio waves by sun; (3) cosmological observations, such as agreement of various measures of age of universe; and (4) gravitational wave experiments, as in the existence of waves-speed-polarization.
