What does the angles of a triangle add up to on sphere and what insrument is used to measure them?

More than 180 degrees. How much more depends on how much of the sphere is covered.

How many right angles can a triangle have on a sphere?
462 * * * * * It can have three.
In which country does a triangle have three right angles?
In the country of the Fourth Dimension! In our world a triangle can have three right angles on a sphere: consider the triangle formed by the Equator, Longitude 0o and Longitude 90o.
Could triangles have right angles?
Yes, although a triangle (in normal geometry) can only have one right angle, no more. It is possible for a triangle to have all three right angles in spherical geometry (if you were to draw the triangle on a sphere).
What geometric shapes do not have right angles or angles larger than a right angle?
Circle, cone, cylinder, sphere and equilateral triangle for example.
How many solid degrees are there in a sphere?
Spheres are measured with solid angles (which are like two dimensional angles). These angles can be measure with square degrees or steradians. A sphere measures 129300/π square degrees (or about 41,253 square degrees). A sphere measures 4π steradians (or about 12.566 steradians.)
How can you draw a triangle with two obtuse angles?
You can draw a triangle with two obtuse angles in a sphere
Is it possible to draw a triangle with three right angles on a sphere?
It is impossible to have a triangle with 3 right angles. It is possible to draw a triangle with three right angles on the surface of a sphere: www.metacafe.com/watch/769025/270_degree_triangle_yes_3_right_angles

Does an equilateral triangle has angles?
All triangles have 3 internal angles. If drawn on a flat plane (that is redundant, but you could imagine a triangle on a sphere or some other shape) the internal angles will add to 180 degrees. In an equilateral triangle all three internal angles are equal.
Can the angles of a triangle add up to more then 180?
If the triangle is on a sphere, then yes. If it's on a flat plane, like a piece of paper, then no.

What shape has three sides and all right angles?
A Triangle drawn accross a sphere; NOT on a plane surface.
Would Equilateral triangle can be a right triangle?
What you are asking, and I suspect you don't realise, is "can a triangle's angles add to 270o?" which of course it can not do on a two dimensional surface, It is possible on eg a sphere, think of the angles between 0o and 90o of longitude at the Equator and the Pole...
Can a triangle have two right angles yes or no?
No. A triangle's angles must add up to 180 degrees so it cannot have two right angles. However, the answer is yes if you are talking about a triangle on the surface of a sphere. In this case the geometry is non-Euclidean. If you are staying with standard Euclidean geometry, then the answer no above is correct.
