Can you use simple pendulum in moon?
Yes. The period of the pendulum (the time it takes it swing back and forth once) depends on the length of the pendulum, and also on how strong gravity is. The moon is much smaller and less massive than the earth, and as a result, gravity is considerably weaker. This would make the period of a pendulum longer on the moon than the period of the same pendulum would be on earth.
What is the pendulum?

What determines whether a pendulum swings in a plane or describes a three-dimensional path?
A pendulum on a knife edge bearing may swing back and forth in a plane (relative to the Earth). A pendulum suspended from aneedle bearingmay swing in elliptical fashion on the surface of a sphere.For the movement to stay parallel to a plane which is fixed relative to the stars, the pendulum must have a needle bearing but no initial momentum perpendicular to that plane. However, the origin of that plane will follow the daily and yearly movements of its location on the Earth. Relative to the Earth, such a pendulum's path will appear to rotate once around every sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds).
