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.

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.
