In a simple pendulum, with its entire mass concentrated at the end of a string, the period depends on the distance of the mass from the pivot point.
A physical pendulum's period is affected by the distance of the centre-of-gravity of the pendulum arm to the pivot point, its mass and its moment of inertia about the pivot point.
In real life the pendulum period can also be affected by air resistance, temperature changes etc.

How does height affect the period of a pendulum?
Height does not affect the period of a pendulum.
Does the bob affect the pendulum's time period?
no ,because they are not the same
Does the length of pendulum affect the period of vibration?
Yes. Given a constant for gravity, the period of the pendulum is a function of it's length to the center of mass. In a higher gravity, the period would be shorter for the same length of pendulum.
Does length of the pendulum affect its period?
Technically and mathematically, the length is the onlything that affects its period.
Does the length of the pendulum affect the number of cycles?
no. it affects the period of the cycles.
