Why is Eiffel tower higher in Summer?
The Eiffel Tower is very slightly (i.e., mere centimeters) taller during the summer than during the winter.
The reason for this is due to thermal expansion. During the summer, the structure is heated by the sun for more hours during the day, and the warm air of the summer makes it harder for the tower to stay as cool as it gets in the winter. Therefore, the molecules in the structure expand, causing the entire tower to grow by a few centimeters.
