It is easy to determine the size - satellite images are readily available, and the diameter is simply measured using those images.

What is the width of a category 3 hurricane?
There is no given size. Hurricanes are rated based on wind speed, not size and there is no real curreclation between the strength of a hurricane and its size. A category 3 hurricane has sustained winds of 111 to 129 mph.
What is the diameter of the eye of a hurricane?
It varies widely. Some of the smallest eyes are around two to three miles wide. A normal size eye is about 15 to 30 miles wide. A very large eye can be over 60 miles wide. Generally the stronger the hurricane the smaller the eye.
Is the size of the hurricane related to its wind speed?
No
Does the size of a hurricane correlate with the wind speed?
Not at all.
What causes a hurricane to gain size and speed?
when the water is at about 80 degrees f, and when wind circulates it causes a hurricane
How is the size of a hurricane determined?
The size of a hurricane is based on the diameter over which it produces gale force winds.
How is the force of a hurricane measureed?
Hurricane strength is usually determined by the maximum sustained wind speed of a hurricane. This is usually measured with an anemometer.
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by?
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by the size of the electron cloud.

What is the difference between the size and strength of a hurricane?
The size of a hurricane is how big it is, usually measured by the size of the area that has gale for winds or stronger winds, called the gale diameter. The strength of a hurricane is independent of size and is usually measured in terms of maximum sustained wind speed.
What is the diameter of the eye of a hurricane?
It varies widely. Some of the smallest eyes are around two to three miles wide. A normal size eye is about 15 to 30 miles wide. A very large eye can be over 60 miles wide. Generally the stronger the hurricane the smaller the eye.
How is eggs size determined?
It is determined by the weight not the height
Is the size of the hurricane related to its wind speed?
No
Is a bigger hurricane more intense?
No. There is little if any correlation between hurricane size and intensity.
How big was hurricane Hanna?
The hurricane Hanna is 1/4 of Haiti or even half the size of Haiti
Does the size of a hurricane correlate with the wind speed?
Not at all.
