OT - World's 65 Tallest Skyscrapers with links to pictures & some videos

[observer]

Since I posted the World's 63 Tallest Skyscrapers
on May 15 2021, -2- more skyscrapers over 1,200
feet tall (i.e., at least 4 football fields tall not in-
cluding end zones) have been added:
https://www.emporis.com/statistics/worlds-tallest-buildings

o 16th tallest: Vanke Center, Chongqing, 99 stories,
1,535 feet, 2022

and

o 49th tallest: Iconic Tower, Cairo, 80 stories, 1,263
feet, 2023

~~~

Picture the following in terms of the length
of a football field not including end zones
(i.e., 100 yards which = 300 feet).

The World's 65 Tallest Skyscrapers start at
4 football fields tall not including end zones
(i.e., 1,200 feet).

1 Football Field not including end zones = 100 yards = 300 feet,
2 = 600 feet, 3 = 900 feet, 4 = 1,200 feet, 5 = 1,500 feet,
6 = 1,800 feet, 7 = 2,100 feet, 8 = 2,400 feet, 9 = 2,700 feet

1 skyscraper is over 9 football fields tall not including end zones
0 skyscrapers are 8 to 9 football fields tall not including end zones
1 skyscraper is 7 to 8 football fields tall not including end zones
4 skyscrapers are 6 to 7 football fields tall not including end zones
12 skyscrapers are 5 to 6 football fields tall not including end zones
47 skyscrapers are 4 to 5 football fields tall not including end zones

Follow-up:

Ran across the following article today about
5 asteroids coming 'close' to our home planet
('close', a very loose term; in Covid-19 perspec-
tive, 'close' is within 6 feet; in asteroid perspec-
tive, 'close' is within 120 million miles of Earth).

I'll use some of the building heights in the orig-
inal article in this thread for help in describing
some of the asteroid sizes in the following art-
icle:

5 asteroids heading 'close' to Earth
in January 2022
https://tech.hindustantimes.com/tech/news/nasa-raises-warning-of-5-asteroids-heading-towards-earth-in-january-2022-71641136383241.html
---

o Asteroid 2021 YK - 12 feet wide, within 118,000
miles of Earth today (the moon is 238,900 miles
from Earth), so 118,000 miles is pretty darn close,
just under half way to the moon.

o Asteroid 2014 YE15 - 24 feet wide, within 4.6
million miles of Earth on January 6 (that's almost
1/5th of the distance between Earth & our closest
planet, Venus, which is 26 million miles from Earth).

o Asteroid 2020 AP1 - 13 feet wide, within 1.08 million
miles of Earth on January 7 (that's just over 4.5 times
farther away than the moon).

o Asteroid 2013 YD48 - 340 feet wide (that's from the
ground up to just below the 28th floor of the Empire
State building), within 3.48 million miles of Earth on
January 11 (that's just over 14.5 times farther away
than the moon).

o Asteroid 7482 (1994 PC1) - 3,125 feet wide (around
2.5 times wider than the Empire State Building is tall &
is just over 400 feet wider than the world's tallest build-
ing, the Burj Kalifa), within 0.013 astronomical units (an
astronomical unit is distance between Earth & the Sun,
92,955,807.3 miles), in miles that's 1,248,425.49 miles, ...

... just over 5 times farther away than the moon, & very
close to the distance from Earth to Asteroid 2020 AP1,
just 168,425.49 miles farther away.
