Why is it that when I read about a lighthouse, one book will say its 153 feet tall, and another will say 160 feet tall?
A. The reason there are usually several different listed heights when talking about a lighthouse because there are several different ways to take the measurement. The height of a lighthouse is usually measured from the ground to the top of the lantern room. This can sometimes include a lightning rod, which can add upwards of 3 to 6 feet onto the height.
