The height of the Eiffel tower changes by 7.5 centimeters (not meters, that would be a huge change). This is about 3 inches. The Eiffel tower is made of iron and the change is due to the metal dilatation and contraction as the temperature changes. During the course of an hot summer day, as the sun goes round, the tip of the Eiffel tower moves in an ellipse of less than 20 centimeters (the length of an adult's hand). Even before the tower was built in 1889, engineers had already made an accurate calculation of that phenomenon.
Yes. When metal gets cold, it contracts. When it gets hot, it expands. It is not a huge change, but it is enough to measure.

The Eiffel Tower construction started in the Summer of 1887, and finished in the early Spring of 1889. The Eiffel Tower opened on May 6th 1889.
it is hot in summer. nights are colder.
Because the chlorophyll in the summer is higher
winter; less daylight, colder temperatures, most plants either die or go dormant. spring; more daylight. temperatures moderating, plants begin or resume growing. summer; most daylight, warmer temperatures, plants growing and maturing. autumn; daylight lessening, temperatures moderating to cooler, plants mature or begin to go dormant.
The deserts experience the same seasons as elsewhere - summer, fall, winter and spring.
Metal will expand when warm in summer. So the Eiffel Tower will grow taller in summer, and become smaller in winter.
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.
The Eiffel Tower gets bigger in the summer becaus of Thermal Expansion. It gets 15cm taller.

The heat from the Sun causes the metal framework of the tower to expand slightly. The same happens to any exposed metal structure - including bridges. That's why bridges have an 'expansion gap' at each end.
