==Key Stage 2==
===Meaning===
'''Air Resistance''' is a [[force]] that slows objects down when they are moving through the air.
: [[Noun]]: '''Air Resistance'''
===About Air Resistance===
: '''Air Resistance''' can only happen to an object surrounded by air. It does not happen to objects underwater or in space.
: The amount of '''air resistance''' depends on:
*The size of an object.
*The shape of an object.
*How fast an object is moving through the air.
