The effects of air resistance of an object are to do with the relationship between the surface area and the mass of an object. While a bowling ball has a larger surface area than that of a feather, the ratio of surface are to mass is much more in favour of the surface area for the feather than for the bowling ball. This is why the bowling ball falls faster than the feather
