Anything 1,000 feet is a pretty tall order and could be a little difficult to visualize.
If it helps, 1,000 feet is the same as 12,000 inches.
If that doesn’t help, we’ve compiled a list of 12 things that can easily help you visualize 1,000 feet.
1. The Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, stands 1,060 feet tall, that’s including its flagpole. The Tower is the largest structure in Paris.
Most of the buildings there are now governed by a zoning restriction limiting them to a height of 121 feet or less.
2. Twice as High as The Washington Monument
The Washington Monument measures 555 feet tall, that’s a little over half the height of 1,000 feet. The Monument is estimated to weigh 91,000 tons.

The dimension of stuff has been an interest of mine ever since I was a child. What I believe is most fascinating about the dimension of stuff is how extremely long, tall and wide some objects are both on earth and in the universe.
