What is the closest city to the Eiffel Tower?
Paris has two large international airports, Orly in the south and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle north of Paris. The closest to Paris is Orly airport, but Orly and Roissy serve different destinations so you would not have the choice.

How do you build a mini Eiffel Tower using newspaper?
Newspaper is not the ideal construction material for building a mini Eiffel tower, but it could be done. Roll pieces of newspaper tightly and wrap them with tape; this will produce structural elements that can simulate structural steel beams. Then glue them together with any glue that will work, possibly rubber cement, goop is very nice. When it's all glued together you might want to spray it with paint, to improve the appearance.
Which tower is oldest blackpool or eiffel?
The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 whereas the Blackpool Tower was built in 1894.
The Blackpool Tower was modeled on the Eiffel Tower but in a smaller scale.

The Eiffel Tower is 324 metres high. The Shard Tower is 306 metres high.
Did they ever had to reconstruct the Eiffel Tower?
No, the Eiffel Tower has never had to be reconstructed.
1,690, but you'd need some pretty amazing glue.
Is there a restruant on top of the Eiffel tower?
Yes, two of them - one is a casual restaurant starting around $50 a plate, the other, The Jules Verne is highend starting around $200 per plate. Reservations at either allow you to skip the line for the elevator and wisk right up!
Is the mpire state building taller than Eiffel tower?
Yes. The Empire State Building is 1,250 feet high (1,453 feet if you include the spire); the Statue of Liberty is a mere 305 feet from the ground to its highest point (the tip of the flame).
first its eiffel, ya dumb. Gustav Eiffel designed it just do some research. oh me gee someone spell out lazy... gahh

Why is there a rotating light on the top of the Eiffel tower?
It is tall and is a hazard to aircraft navigation.
How long would it take to hit the ground if you jumped from the Eiffel Tower?
Calculating how long it takes an object to fall a certain distance is a difficult question if you want an exact answer, but if you're willing to look at a simplified model (ignoring factors such as air resistance/frictions, which would be considerable), a crude approximation can be reached.
The acceleration due to gravity of an object is 9.81 m/s2 (meters per second per second) down. The amount of displacement resulting from a given acceleration over time is .5at2, where t is the amount of time (in seconds). The amount of displacement we need to equal is the height of the roof of the Empire State Building, 381 m (1250 ft).
After substituting our values into the displacement/acceleration equation, giving us -381 = .5(-9.81)t2. We can find our amount of time by isolating t. Doing this give us our final result of 8.81 seconds. If we assume that non-gravity factors would not be accelerating your decent, we can treat this as an upper limit to the result in real life. if you try you cant go past the bars
How ever if you decide to use feet units you come up with 6.154 seconds. Acceleration due to gravity is approximately -32.174 feet per second2. The Empire State building is 1250 feet tall. So the height, Y, at time, t, 0 is 1250.
The acceleration equation of the scenario would at first Y"=-32.174t. When we integrate this to find the velocity equation we recieve: Y'=-16.087t2+C. The integrating constant, C, would represent a starting velocity. Since the person "fell" off the building the initial velocity is 0, so Y'=-16.087t2. In order to find the position equation we integrate once more, yielding: Y=-5.36233t3+C. The integrating constant, C, in this case represents initial position which we know is 1250. So the position equation is: Y=-5.36233t3+1250. To find out when he hits the ground we solve for when height, Y, equals 0. 0=-5.36233t3+1250. This yields a time value of 6.1544 seconds.
*Note: This answer also ignores air resistance.
Did the Eiffel tower had any unexpected effects on the city?
'Tall building syndrome' - where the other buildings became jealous of the height of the Eiffel tower.
