The eiffel tower has a mass of 7.3 million kilograms and a height of 324 meters. its base is square with a side length of 125 me
uranmaximum [27]

Since the tower base is square with a side length of  125 m,

Therefore,

(125\ m)^2+ (125\ m)^2=31250 m^2

Square root of 31250 = 176.776953 (Diameter) , so this is the diameter of the cylinder to enclose it, and radius, r = 88.38834765 m and height, h = 324 m.

The volume of cylinder,

=\pi r^2h=3.14(88.38834765 m)^2\times 324 m =7948168.803\ m^3

Thus, the mass of the air in the cylinder,

=1.225\ kg/m^3 \times 7948168.803\ m^3=9736506.78\ kg

Hence, the mass of the air in the cylinder is this more  than the mass of the tower.

</span> The atmosphere is heated both by the Sun and by the Earth's surface. Water radiates heat differently than land, so the air temperature over the ocean is usually different than the air temperature over land. <span>
The difference in air temperature over land compared to over water causes convection currents in the atmosphere. How would a person at the beach experience these convection currents? 
</span>They would feel that the water is cold.

NOT:
They would feel the heat of the Sun.
They would feel that the sand is hot.
<span>They would feel wind as the air moves.</span>
