I'm not even sure how tall he is. I'm guessing 4' 9", though?
But I know that his weight was directly stated in one episode. In the Japanese version, which is the version I saw last of this episode ("Atom goes to Space"), I can't remember what they said, nor could I comprehend the unit of measurement (kilograms, I think) they were using. (Although i have a horrible sense of heights and weights, distances, temperatures, and just about anything to do with measurements.)
It says in the English version, as well, though I think in pounds instead of kilograms. (In both versions, they weren't stating Atom's actual weight, so much as how much extra weight was added to the spacecraft.)

I don't know if they were consistent though out the various episodes, and I'd have to go back and find the one you are talking about. I've posted a scan once here from Atom Cat that showed his height as 123cm, which is 4.035 ft. But this figure is for the 9 year old version of Atom, in the movie he could be as much as a foot taller. Weight? Somewhere in the manga and in one of the animes, either the '63 or the '80 one his weight was given as 67 lbs. At least this was what a suitcase that Dr. O. had stuffed him into weighed. I think this was in the mission to mars manga story.

I was going by the 2003 version. I need the information for reasons. Also, his weight was never brought up again in that series, I don't think.

In the 2003 it was mentioned he weighted around 30 kilograms. It was in the Deimos episode (3rd in Japanese order) if I remember correctly.

Which for the mathematically challenged is 66 lbs. So my 67 lb guess is darn close.

How do you know how tall he is? It never says in the anime, as far as I know.

I am not entirely sure either, but that is how tall everyone keeps saying he is.

Here is what I found in the Astro Cat manga (I've posted this before)
123cm is a hair over 4 ft.

Well, he's a bit taller in the 2003 version, I think...
(but d'aww he's just a little feller innit he?
)
