weight would affect a parachute if you put a 500lb man on a parachute and dropped him gravity would make him travel faster towards the ground compared to if you placed a 92lb boy on a parachute as the parachute applies the same force to both of them but the man weighs more so takes more to slow down and therefor lands down on the ground first

yes it does
Friction effects the parachute's descent because the cloth of the parachute rubs together with the air, creating drag
no you didnt
yes, it can

A parachute must have suspended weight in order to open. If you have no weight loading the parachute will fail.
Parachutes are interesting aircraft. The major retarding force of classical round parachutes is drag. Weight and drag determine their rate-of-descent. But air spills out of them because they oscillate, too. Since the 1960's parachutes have been designed that acheive lift from their forward motion.
Parachutist weight. Gravity. Wind flow. Landing speed. Jump height. Weather.
no
Yes! I would not want to jump with a miniaturized parachute...

Probely a booger.

There is not a certain weightto a parachute
No, it will actually add to the total weight.
How fast it flies down
