The molecules in air is matter and matter has a weight. Atmospheric air weighs 1.3 kg per cubic meters.
It is also called friction. Friction is something that slows you down or stops you as you move, for example air and a wall.
In space there is a vacuum. Vacuum means that there is nothing any where at all. In other words, no air resistance or resistance of any kind/no friction.

∙ 13y agoWhen a parachutist is falling with his parachute open, he is hitting air molecules. Imagine he is going at 1 cm/s, he is hitting 1 cubic cm of air molecules per second. If he goes at 2 cm/s, then he is hitting 2 cubic cm of air per second. This increases the air resistance. So as his speed increases, so does the amount of cubic cm of air molecules.

How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
What is friction between a moving object and air particles called?
"Air resistance"
How does streamline help reduce air resistance?
As air particles hit against the object, it produces air resistance and therefore slowing down the spped of the object. A streamline object can avoid the air particles hitting its surfaces directly. Instead of hitting onto it and slowing it down, a streamline shape allows the particles and travel around it. Hence, reducing air resistance so it can remain its high speed. Hope this will help but don't trust it entirely After all, I am only 14
How parachutes decrease terminal velocity?
There is more surface area for the air particles to hit making the weight to air resistance ratio unbalanced.
What two forces cause deceleration?
Friction and air resistance are two.

How do you decrease air resistance?
Resitance of air varies based on: 1. Percentage content of moisture (higher the moisture, lesser the resistance) 2. Percentage content of suspended dust particles and conductivity of those suspended particles (higher the content, lesser the resistance)
Is gas particles in the air pressure?
Yes it Does Cause air Press it does cause air pressure.
What is the force air resistance?
Air resistance is a friction force, the flow of air over a surface will cause friction and produce drag. Thanks
What problems do particles in the air cause?
carbon dioxide and unhealthy air

What has more energy particles in cold water or in the air?
air is has more particles cause it covers all the earth vs the particles in cold water
How do these particles interact with water vapor in the air?
The particles cause water vapor to evaporate
What is an example of fluid friction?
example of fluid friction are air resistance or drag because an object moving through air actually collides with miniature particles, specially dust particles .
Are movement of gas particles in the air against another object cause air pressure?
No
How parachutes decrease terminal velocity?
There is more surface area for the air particles to hit making the weight to air resistance ratio unbalanced.
