Because the flat side of the paper is pushing all the air around it.
It has nothing to do with their weights. If they were falling through a space
with no air in it, a feather and a truck would fall together and hit bottom at
the same time.
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.
This is a classic question. In a vacuum, both the the coin and the crumpled paper fall at the same rate due to the absence of air resistance.(Their acceleration being the same) However, in air, the relative air resistance on the paper is greater than on the coin.(relative, because the coin and the paper do not have the same mass, so the proportion of air resistance as compared to weight is the one relevant) So the acceleration of the paper decreases to zero more rapidly than the coin.(it will decrease to zero provided the objects are released from a sufficiently high point from the earth's surface). Thus, the coin will fall faster in air.
The coin falls faster than a feather due to differences in air resistance. The coin is denser with less air resistance, allowing it to fall quickly. The feather, being less dense and having more air resistance, falls more slowly.
A piece of paper falls slowly to the ground because of air resistance. The large surface area of the paper interacts with air molecules, creating a force that opposes its downward motion, causing it to fall more slowly than heavier objects with less surface area.
because it is more lighter than the crumpled one. and its density is much lighter.
Faster than on Earth? The reason it falls slowly on Earth is because of air resistance. You can also make it fall quickly on Earth if you make it fall within a vacuum chamber.
Because of its mass.

In a vacuum, there is no drag, i.e. air resistance, so the coin and the piece of paper will fall the same way in a vacuum, whereas in air, the paper will flutter down while the coin will have minimal impediment due to its drag coefficient being far less than that of paper.

It will fall fast if it is heavy and slow if it is light because the gravitional force is pulling it down to earth
Becuase this tiny paper copter has a very low terminal velocity. The force of gravity on the paper copter is very small, so it does not have to fall that fast to reach an equal amount of air resistance. The force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance on the copter while falling very slowly, so it cannot accelerate any more, making it fall slowly.
You can crumple the paper up to increase its air resistance, which will slow down its rate of fall. This will cause the paper to fall more slowly, closer to the rate at which the book is falling.
Crumple the paper into a tight ball before dropping it. The increased surface area and air resistance of a flat sheet of paper slowed its fall, and crumpling it reduces both, allowing it to fall quicker.
