In the on-page visual comparison, the CN Tower renders about 572 px tall. A 170 cm person would be about 1.8 px at true scale, so the page uses a 5 px visibility marker near the baseline.

What the chart shows

What the chart adds

The chart shows the full 55,333 cm / 1815'4.6" selected height on one vertical scale, including the shaft, deck ring, and upper antenna section. The person in the quick comparison is a visibility marker, not a full true-scale silhouette, because a 170 cm person would be less than two SVG pixels at this tower scale.

HowHeight editorial judgment

After checking the listed references and public context, HowHeight uses ⁦55,333 cm⁩ as the selected comparison value and shows ⁦553.33 m / 1815'4.6"⁩ as the reference value for context.

HowHeight selects the official 553.33 m figure as the comparison value and converts it directly to 55,333 cm / 1815'4.6". Shorter 553 m and 553.3 m readings are treated as rounded references rather than separate tower heights.
