Because there's room inside for more "threads" of current from one end to the other.
A good comparison to help us think about it is a road that a great many drivers want to
use on their way from 'A' to 'B'. More cars can be accommodated if we make the road
'thicker' ... by widening it and adding more lanes for traffic.
You can reduce the resistance in a wire by increasing the cross-sectional area of the wire, using a material with lower resistivity, or shortening the length of the wire. These methods can help to lower the resistance and improve the flow of electric current.
No, the resistance of a wire primarily depends on its length, resistivity, and temperature. The cross-sectional area of the wire influences the wire's resistance indirectly by affecting the wire's overall resistance. A larger cross-sectional area generally results in lower resistance due to increased conducting area for current flow.
If the wire is short, its resistance will likely decrease. A shorter wire has less length for electrons to travel through, resulting in lower resistance according to the formula R = ρL/A, where R is resistance, ρ is resistivity, L is length, and A is cross-sectional area.
The three main factors that affect the resistance in a wire are the material of the wire (different materials have different resistivities), the length of the wire (longer wires have higher resistance), and the cross-sectional area of the wire (thicker wires have lower resistance).
When a wire is made thicker it's resistance decreases.

A long piece of wire will have more resistance in it than a shorter one of the same material.

A short thick copper wire at low temperature would have lower resistance compared to a long thin iron wire at high temperature. This is because resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area and directly proportional to temperature and length of the wire. The short thick copper wire has a larger cross-sectional area, which results in lower resistance.
The resistance of a wire depends on its length - longer wires have higher resistance. It also depends on the material of the wire - materials with higher resistivity have higher resistance. Lastly, the cross-sectional area of the wire affects resistance - larger cross-sectional areas have lower resistance.
Thicker wire has less resistance than thinner wire due to lower electrical resistance. Thicker wire allows more electrons to flow through it easily, resulting in less opposition to the flow of electric current.
The short thick copper wire at a low temperature would have the lowest resistance. Copper has lower electrical resistance than iron, and a shorter, thicker wire has lower resistance compared to a long thin wire, regardless of the temperature.
The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. This means that for a given material, a longer wire will have higher resistance and a thicker wire will have lower resistance. The relationship is described by the formula: Resistance = resistivity x (length / cross-sectional area).
