What measurements does this comparison use?

The reference values used here are 269.1 m for RMS Titanic (Length) and 330 m for Eiffel Tower (Height, to the tip). The table links to background sources; natural objects and manufactured variants can differ from these reference values.

How should I read the drawing?

Eiffel Tower spans about 1.2× as much as RMS Titanic across the longest side of each drawing. This is a linear scale comparison, not a comparison of mass or volume. For maps, the table reports area; doubling a map’s width and height multiplies its area by four.
