Did you know?

Did you know that the Eiffel Tower actually grows taller during the summer? 🗼

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, stands approximately 1,083 feet tall, including its antennas.

But when temperatures rise, the iron structure expands due to a scientific phenomenon called thermal expansion.

On particularly hot days, the tower can grow by as much as 6 inches (15 centimeters)!

Even more fascinating, the Sun heats one side of the tower more than the other, causing the structure to lean slightly away from the Sun.

That means one of the world’s most famous landmarks actually changes its height and position depending on the weather!
