The height of the Eiffel Tower is 300 meters.
It rests on a base that is 5 meters (17 feet) high, and a television antenna atop the tower gives it a total elevation of 324 meters (1,063 feet).
The Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world until the topping off of the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1929.
The Eiffel Tower is six inches taller in summer than winter.
When the hot summer sun beats down on it, thermal expansion causes the metal to grow.
The tower can swell in height by as much as 15 centimeters.
