Best Answer

Materials expand in the heat and contract in the cold. Metals are particularly susceptible to this affect. The tower even moves 'away' from the sun as the sun warms the side towards it. The top of the tower shifts 18cm away from the sun on a hot day. The coefficient of thermal expansion will determine exactly what is going on.

In the summer the metal expands to make the tower grow and in the winter the metal contracts so the metal shrinks, no because 9=10=21 and 7x3=21
