The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.

Does the size of a parachute affect how long it will float in the air?
yes it does
Two factors that greatly affect air resistance on falling objects are the?
The object's velocity and cross sectional area.
What is the best size for a parachute?
Depends on various factors:weight of object being brought downdesired speed of descentcost
What is the terminal speed of a person falling with an open parachute?
Well, the 'terminal speed' is going to be 0kmh; but before actually hitting the ground it is not easy to give an exact answer, as it depends to a considerable extent on the size of the parachute, the weight of the person and various other things. An reasonable average would be somewhere in the range of 3 - 5 metres per second.
How does the surface area of a parachute affect the speed it falls at?
The surface area of a parachute can be different sizes and weights. If the surface is smooth then the you will fall faster because the texture is smooth and the air will slip by it. if it is rough then it will be slower because the the air will come into the parachute slower.
What is the relationship between the size and the rate at which a parachute drops?
Velocity x falling speed + the size of your junk
How does the size or shape of a parachute affect the way it works?
If the hole is bigger the parachute speed will decrease
Does the size of a parachute affect its performance?
Yes! I would not want to jump with a miniaturized parachute...

What factor does not affect stream size and speed?
load
Does the size of an object affect the rate at which it falls?
Only if it's falling through air. If it's just the falling object and gravity, then no.
How does the size of a toy car affect its speed?
It would affect its speed because the weight of the car is gonna slow it down
