make this shorter and less technical
The falls of the two skydivers will be similar in terms of gravity, as both will experience the same gravitational force pulling them downwards. However, the effect of mass will come into play. The skydiver with a greater mass will experience a greater force due to gravity as compared to the one with a smaller mass. Furthermore, air resistance will also have a larger effect on the skydiver with a larger mass, slowing down their fall to a greater extent than the skydiver with a smaller mass. Therefore, the skydiver with a smaller mass will fall faster and may have a shorter fall time.
