Wind primairly affects a parachute at landing causing turbulance, and where ground speed becomes a factor. If flying a ram air parachute with the wind, your ground speed will be wind speed + canopy speed, so not a good configuration to land. Also, wind causes turbulance, which can collapse a canopy.

What effect will the wind have on the way a rocket is launched?
Wind is a major factor when it comes to launching model rockets. Wind can cause your rocket to go up at an angle or tip over. Wind also effects the recovery/descent process. Wind can blow your rocket very far after the recovery system is deployed (if its a parachute. To reduce the distance of gliding, I'd recommend that you cut a hole in the middle of the parachute.
How is parasailing different from wind surfing?
In parasailing the person in a parachute is towed by a powered vehicle like a boat. In wind surfing, the person under the parachute canopy is not attached to any vehicle by a rope. The wind will just blow the parachute and pull the person under it.
Do you go up when you open your parachute?
Yes, you do. When a parachute deploys in mid air on the way down to the ground you go up. Only because when you are moving down the wind is moving up from you. So when the parachute opens and the wind is cought then the wind (going up) pushes the parachute up but only for a little while beause eventually gravity will take control.
Why does a parachute save your life if you jump from a plane?
a parachute will save your life because you land properly and you dont fall face first plus the wind will contriol the parachute

How will the mass under the parachute effect the way it falls?
by ejaculating
How does erosion effect wind?
erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion
Why does a skydiver loose speed when he opens his parachute?
Because it fills with wind and increases his air resistance.
What effect terminal velocity and air resistance have on a sky diver when he opens his parachute?
Air resistance increases and terminal velocity decreases when the parachute has opened.
How does a parachute effect free fall?
If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.
