As an object falls towards the earth, it accelerates due to the force of gravity acting on it's mass. As velocity increases, air resistance increases. This is in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on the object. Therefore the resultant force on the object is decreased, and the rate of acceleration is reduced. Eventually, the force due to the air resistance is equal in magnitude to the weight and the object has no resultant force acting. At this point the object will be travelling at a constant velocity, commonly referred to as Terminal Velocity.

Suggest you try internet search for terms like 'free fall', 'gravity',
'air resistance', 'terminal velocity', etc.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
the object will floatit shows increasing acceleration
Assuming that there are no other forces on the object, the force that causes the acceleration of a falling object is the gravitational force (attractive force that exists between two masses). In problems, this assumption is usually used.However, in Force = mass*acceleration it is important to remember it is net acceleration and net force. Thus, for an object falling in real life the acceleration is caused by the gravitational force and a drag force which results from the object moving through the air. You have to take into account all the forces on the object.

Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects
Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
Air resistance creates friction and slows a falling object.
Air resistance causes friction and slows an object.
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
Near Earth's surface, the acceleration is about 9.8 meters/second2, assuming air resistance can be neglected.
Only if it has enough wind resistance to cancel out gravity.
the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
All objects irrespective of their masses in a vacuum where there is no air resistance will fall at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s²
the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration.
The maximum velocity of a falling person is about 200 miles per hour; at that point the air resistance does not allow further acceleration.
