Solution

The left kidney is placed lower than the right kidney due to the presence of the liver on the right side of the human body. The liver is a large organ that takes up more space in the upper part of the abdomen, pushing the right kidney slightly downwards. On the left side, there is more space available, so the left kidney sits a bit higher. This is a general arrangement and can vary slightly from person to person.
