Water is a liquid, and much more dense than the air which human legs are accustomed to walking through. A liquid does not make way for a solid moving object as easily as a gaseous substance does. A ship is more powerful than an airplane, but the airplane is faster and more efficient because air offers less resistance than water.

∙ 10y agoDepending on the situation, sometimes is more difficult to move in air than in water. Primarily, it is more difficult to move in water because water is much more dense than air. But it is necessary to consider which type of movimentation in air, you are referring to. Are you planning to attach wings onto your back, to jump from a high rock and fly? It also depends on the speed you are moving. At a very high speed, the air offers much more resistance to go through it, while in the water, at low speed, this difficult is much less intense.
