Parachutes fall slowly due to air resistance. The large surface area of the parachute creates drag, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the object down. By catching air and creating drag, the parachute allows for a slower descent, providing a gentle landing.
Air resistance is the main reason that a parachutes slowly float to earth. the weightattached to the parachute keep it suspended in the correct shape to be effective. this is a very simplistic explanation and as can be seen from the many shapes and styles of modern parachutes there are other factors involved that can be used to modify the performance of a chute.
The manipulated variable in this experiment would be the size of the parachutes. By changing the size of the parachutes, the scientist can observe how it affects the time it takes for the parachutes to fall to the ground.

Yes, when it is windy, parachutes can fall faster due to the increased wind resistance and turbulence affecting the canopy. This can cause the parachute to be more difficult to control and potentially result in a faster descent. Pilots must adjust their techniques to account for the windy conditions.
The reason parachutes were designed was so that people could fall at any height and not get hurt at all.

If you mean by wings slowing its fall. Yes they do the impact is less.
to travel downwards beneath the gravity of the atmosphere and break a persons immediate fall.

The solid rocket boosters detach from the shuttle at about 45 km, but the boosters keep rising to about 67 km. They then fall back toward earth and once they enter the atmosphere, the rockets. parachutes are deployed. Each rocket is decelerated by three main parachutes. The boosters then slowly and safely fall into the ocean, and are retrieved by two NASA recovery ships. Experts refurbish the boosters, so they can be reused for the next launch. How do the retrieval ships know where to find the items? A total of 12 elements, two SRB casings, six main parachutes, two frustums, and two drogue parachutes, are equipped with location "beacons" to track all the parts that need retrieved.
