The short answer to this question is that about 60 to 80 percent of the difference in height between individuals is determined by genetic factors, whereas 20 to 40 percent can be attributed to environmental effects, mainly nutrition.
This is not the same as asking how much genetic factors influence height in any one person. Heritability is a statistic used in breeding and genetics works that estimates how much variation in a phenotypic trait in a population is due to genetic variation between individuals in that population. Other causes of measured variation in a trait are characterized as environmental factors, including measurement error.
