The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.

of course ... the length of the pendulum ... :) base on our experiment >>>
The period increases - by a factor of sqrt(2).
Technically and mathematically, the length is the onlything that affects its period.
no. it affects the period of the cycles.
The period of a pendulum (for short swings) is about 2 PI (L/g)1/2. The gravity on the moon is less than that on Earth by a factor of six, so the period of the pendulum on the moon would be greater, i.e. slower, by about a factor of 2.5.
