People who live close to the equator tend to be shorter due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors. The warm climate and abundant food resources often lead to a lifestyle that favors smaller body sizes, which can be more efficient in heat regulation. Additionally, historical patterns of evolution and adaptation have favored shorter stature in some equatorial populations as a response to their specific environments. Nutritional factors, including access to diverse diets, also play a critical role in determining height.
The equator is an imaginary line, but I'm sure many people live where the equator is said to be.
People in Miami live north of the equator. Miami is located in the northern hemisphere.
Yes, people do live on the equator. Countries such as Ecuador, Kenya, Indonesia, and Brazil have cities and communities located along the equator where people reside and carry out their daily lives.
At the South Pole, your shadow will generally be much shorter than at locations closer to the equator, especially during the summer months when the sun is low in the sky. This is because the sun remains relatively close to the horizon, resulting in shorter shadows. Conversely, in areas closer to the equator, the sun is often more directly overhead, creating longer shadows at certain times of the day. So, if you’re at the South Pole, you’ll likely experience shorter shadows compared to your home.
About 10 to 15 million people live in towns and cities crossed by the equator, including residents of Quito, Ecuador (pop. 2,700,000), Macapá, Brazil (pop. 500,000) and Pontianak, Indonesia (pop. 600,000). The countries crossed by the equator have a total population of over 700 million residents.

One reason is genetics, but a major factor is nutrition. People in regions closer to the equator have historically had less access to high-protein diets that promote growth. Additionally, higher temperatures near the equator may require less energy expenditure for thermoregulation, allowing for greater efficiency in smaller body sizes.
Most of them. Only people who live close to the equator won't experience a noticeable winter.
No, But they are shorter then average people.
No, they live close to the equator and are not suited for cold weather.
middle ( above equator)
Hundreds of millions of people live near the Equator. It's a nice way to avoid extreme winters.
Everyone that matters
No, but the people who live in them can, if they want to.
