A pendulum moves not by Earth's rotation, but by gravity pulling down and causing it to swing.
Foucault Pendulum: The changing direction of the pendulum's swing demonstrates the rotation of Earth beneath it. Coriolis Effect: The deflection of moving objects like air currents and ocean currents is caused by Earth's rotation. Day-night cycle: The cycle of day and night is a direct result of Earth's rotation on its axis.
rotation. The swinging motion of the pendulum appears to change over time due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it, demonstrating the Earth's rotation in relation to the pendulum. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect.
The Coriolis effect is the name given to the force of the Earth's rotation that mainly affects air flow. It causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Earth's rotation controls the length of a day, causing the sun to rise and set. It also influences the planet's weather patterns, ocean currents, and the Coriolis effect, which affects winds and ocean circulation. Furthermore, the rotation helps provide the conditions necessary for life to exist on Earth.
That was Léon Foucault, in 1851.

The Foucault pendulum demonstrates the rotation of the Earth by showing the change in direction of the pendulum's swing over time. As the Earth rotates beneath it, the pendulum's swing appears to rotate, providing visual evidence of the Earth's rotation.

As the earth rotates the angle if the sunlight changes which affects shadows.
of course ... the length of the pendulum ... :) base on our experiment >>>
The rotation of the earth keeps a foucault pendulum moving
