Answer 1

Air is a fluid. Fast air is thinner because there’s less of it, it’s all moving out of the way. Slow air is thicker because it’s sitting there chilling.

Thick air pushes harder than thin air so stuff gets pushed in direction with thinner air.

This is grossly over simplified and inaccurate but you said eli5 so
