Height is a quantitative trait controlled by many alleles. There are as many phenotypes as their are heights. Most people fall into a definite range limit however.

I would guess as many as you can see? There's dwarfism, average, and gigantisism I would suppose? (not sure here, just using logic)

phenotypes are the traits which are expressed on the outside (like visually). These are the 3 types *I* can think of.
