Explanation:
During summer, length of the pendulum increases due to which the time period T increases and pendulum takes more time to complete one oscillation. Thus it slow in summer. During winter length decreases, decreasing the time period.

Explanation:
The pendulum's period depends on the length of the rod, and it changes between summer and winter, as the rod expands and contracts with changes in temperature. Rods get longer in warmer weather, shorter in colder weather. With a shorter rod, a pendulum will swing faster and a clock will run faster. With a longer rod, the pendulum will swing slower and the clock will slow down.
