How would the period of a simple pendulum be affected if it were located on the moon instead of the earth?

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by 2π√(l/g)....
In Moon the acceleration due to gravity...reduces to 1/6 value of g that on the Earth...9.8
So time period will definitely increase by √6* fold of that on the Earth.
But you will probably get less error in your time measurements due to the Moon's isolated environment and atmosphere......
*All above valids only under ideal conditions
