another nice view of where we had been moments ago.
The Eiffel Tower moves.
The massive iron structure is wind-resistant and will sway during a storm. The wind isn't the only thing that can make the enormous tower move, though — the heat of the sun causes the iron to expand, making the Tower grow a few centimeters during the summer months. It also leans an average of six inches away from the sun, as the side directly facing the sunshine heats up faster than the other three sides.
