Can You Imagine What Would Be The Height Of Statue Of Liberty?

[private]The height of the statue is determined and a lot depends on how you measure it. The height of the statue from the base to the torch is 151 ft. Miss Liberty sits proudly atop the 65ft. tall foundation fashioned in the shape of an eleven point star, and an 89 ft. stone pedestal.There are various other dimensions for the Statue of Liberty such as her face is more than 8 ft. tall. The Statue of Liberty’s nose is 4ft. 6in. His right arm which holds the ever-lit torch, measures 42 ft. The size of feet, which Miss Liberty possesses, is of 35 ft.From the pedestal to the crown there are 354 steps inside the statue, which was open to visitors prior to September 11, 2001. The crown, which provides 25 windows-view of New York Harbor, will reopen to the public on July 4, 2009. In 2004, public access was granted to the museum gallery and observation deck, but the rest of the interior has remained closed for people in large.There are seven points in the crown, each of which representing seven seas and seven continents. Each individual ray of the crown measures up to 9 ft. and weighs about 150 pounds. The overall weight which the Statue of Liberty possesses is 225 tons (450,000 pounds).The copper in itself alone weighs around 100 U.S. tons and in thickness is about 3/32 on an inch, which is little less than the thickness of two pennies. It was hammered by hand into plates, which are attached to the interior of an iron frame.[/private]
