no. your genes and heritage determine your eye color/hair color.

Well, for example, here in the middle of South Dakota, 99% of people have dark blonde/light brown hair or lighter and blue/grey/or green eyes... Rarely do I see jet black hair and brown eyes. But no, your DNA determines these things. However, north western europe (Germany, Norway, England, Denmark, Etc) and the upper-mid west of the USA tend to have light hair/eye/skin colors than the rest of the world.

That depends on how long your family have lived in that area (I mean thousands of years). People living near the equator naturally have more pigment in their skin (dark skin, hair, and eyes) to protect themselves from the sun's rays. People living in colder regions naturally have more body hair and retain fat to help keep them warm. These changes happen over several hundren years not just if you move somewhere warmer or colder and expect to have a child with drastically different hair/eye/skin color than you. So, the answer to your question is YES it definitely determines your hair and eye color. It's not as noticeable now since we have means of moving around quickly and people whos family used to live in one arera have now moved to other ares.

NO. For sum people there hair color can change from a dark color to a lighter color in the sun, but it depends on how much sunlight you receive. Your eye color is derived from your heritage and can not be changed .

if the question is the skin color, I would happily answer : partially yes. but NOT for hair color and eye color, except if you want to recolor your hair -- that's another thing.
but yes, living at different places can determine the healthiness of your hair. if your hair are damaged because it's exposed too long in the sun or the air is too dry, it can turns into reddish one.

All these people are wrong. The amount of cheese consumed over one's lifetime determines just about everything.

Genetics does that. However, if you live in a very sunny area, your hair may get lightened by the sun.

No.
But there might be more people with darker hair and eyes in certain places than others.
