how come when we turn on ac the belts slow down.

It takes horse power to operate the ac compressor and the vehicles ECM (engine control module) will compensate for that. If the vehicles charging system and ac system is in good working order it will not drain the battery or effect the idle.

Does running the AC in a car affect the battery when not moving?

For most cars the air conditioning is powered by a belt from the engine and even if the car is only idling it will be running without any meaningful effect on the car's battery. For some hybrid drive cars the air conditioning is powered electrically, so that it can work even with the engine off. These will drain the car's battery some, but the air conditioning controller will automatically turn off the air conditioning before this becomes a problem then turn it back on as soon as the engine is automatically restarted when it is again needed to drive the car.
