It has 1710 steps.It weighs in around 10,000 tons. the height of the Tower can vary with the outside temperature by 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Winds can cause the top of the Tower to sway, side-to-side, by up to 7 centimeters (2.8 inches).

It takes approximately 50 – 60 metric tonnes of paint to paint the tower. This is done once every seven years to protect the iron from rust. It takes about 18 months for 25 painters using 1,500 brushes to repaint the entire Tower.When Gustave Eiffel was making the Eiffel Tower, he had to think about wind resistance. He put a curve on the outer edges so the tower wouldn’t fall. At the base of the Eiffel Tower, four curved pillars tilt inward at an angle of 54 degrees. As the pillars rise, and eventually join, the angle of each gradually decreases. At the top of the Tower, the merged pillars are almost vertical (zero degrees). French engineer Gustave Eiffel calculated that 54° angle as one that would minimize wind resistance. In interviews at the time, Eiffel said that his Tower’s shape was “molded by the forces of the wind,” notes Patrick Weidman. He’s an engineer now retired from the University of Colorado Boulder.
