Answer:
The Eiffel Tower gets taller by up to 6 inches during the summer, when the temperature reaches as high as 40°C. Extreme heat causes the metal at the base to expand, increasing the height of the Eiffel Tower. ... When the hot summer sun beats down on it, thermal expansion causes the metal to grow.

The Eiffel Tower is taller during summer. The Eiffel Tower can grow up to 15 centimeters taller during hot Parisian summer days. This is because of “thermal expansion.” When an object is heated, its particles gain kinetic energy, move faster, and take up more space.
