How does air affect a wiffle ball?

Air affects a wiffle ball by creating resistance and causing the ball to curve or float in different directions as it moves through the air. The holes in the ball also contribute to its erratic flight path by disrupting the airflow around it. This unpredictability makes hitting and catching a wiffle ball challenging.
