Air resistance. (friction).
A sheet of paper falls slower than a coin in air due to differences in air resistance. The paper has a larger surface area compared to the coin, leading to more air resistance acting against its fall. This increased air resistance slows down the paper's fall compared to the coin.
Planes fly at about 600mph during cruise and when they are on the ground they only need to be at aroung 160mph to take-off.
Paper falls more slowly than stone due to its lower density and air resistance. The paper has a larger surface area relative to its mass compared to a stone, so the air resistance it encounters while falling is greater, slowing down its descent. Additionally, the stone's higher density means it is less affected by air resistance and falls faster.
The wind at the surface of the ground where the molecules are having friction is moving slower than the wind above the surface.

Stone ground mustard and brown mustard are not the same, although they are related. Stone ground mustard is typically made from brown or black mustard seeds that have been coarsely ground, resulting in a grainy texture and a robust flavor. Brown mustard refers more broadly to any mustard made with brown mustard seeds, which tend to be spicier than yellow mustard seeds. Thus, while stone ground mustard can be brown mustard, not all brown mustard is stone ground.
By crumpling the paper into a ball or folding it into an origami shape, you create more air resistance which slows down the paper's fall, making it stay in the air longer than a flat piece of paper. The irregular shapes increase the drag force acting on the paper, resulting in a slower descent.
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
