The Eiffel tower shrinks 6 inches in winter?

Answer 1

The Eiffel Tower in Paris is 300m high and is made of steel. Between Summer and Winter its height changes by as much as 7.5cm. This is because in:

a) SUMMER,

due to the heat the attractive forces become slower and unable to hold the molecules at the correct places so we get shorter.

b)WINTER,

the opposite process to the above takes place in Winter and is known as contraction.

Notice than in hot, Summer sunny days, due to the same phenomenon, the side of the tower exposed to the sun shows some dilatation; owing to that dilatation following the course of the sun, the Eiffel tower summit looks smaller a it but its just us getting taller.

Answer 2

Yes, it is true that each winter the Eiffel tower shrinks up to 6 inches. It is because the materials shrinks in cold weather.

Answer 3

The Eiffel Tower in the city Paris, France does indeed get slightly smaller in the winter. The cold temperatures cause the metal to contract making it smaller.

Answer 4

The Eiffel Tower is six inches taller in summer than in winter because the heat expands the metal.
