Virtually all solids expand when they get warmer. Especially in the neighborhood of

30° to 40° C, and especially common materials used to construct common household

items.

So the pendulum bar or rod ... (I don't know what it's called but I mean the straight

rigid thing between the pivot and the weight on the end) ... expands when it warms,

and its effective center of mass moves farther from the pivot. This has the effect of

increasing the period of the pendulum, so the clock runs slower, and "loses time".

What is the density of 100 degrees Celsius?

The density of a substance at 100 degrees Celsius would depend on the specific substance. Generally, as temperature increases, the density of most substances decreases due to expansion of the material. It's best to look up the specific density of the substance at that temperature for an accurate value.

What is the temperature range of the crust in Celsius?

The temperature range of the Earth's crust varies depending on location and depth, but generally ranges from about 0 to 1,000 degrees Celsius. The temperature increases with depth due to the geothermal gradient, which is the rate at which the Earth's temperature increases with depth below the surface.

When altitude increases temperature does what?

When altitude increases, temperature generally decreases at a rate of about 6.5 degrees Celsius per kilometer due to the decrease in air pressure. This is known as the lapse rate.
