Air Resistance

The force that opposes objects moving through the air
Real World Example
Imagine trying to walk through a crowded room where everyone is moving in different directions. Just as people in the room slow you down by blocking your path and causing you to navigate around them, air resistance acts similarly by opposing the motion of objects moving through the air. In this analogy, the people in the room represent air molecules that create resistance, making it harder for you, or any object, to move smoothly and quickly through the space.
