It doesn't. If you took a watermelon and an orange and dropped them at the same time, they would fall the same speed snd land (or squash) at the same time. Try it. It doesn' have to be those two fruits.

The mass of an object has no effect whatsoever on the object's
acceleration during free-fall. If there is no air resistance to interfere
with the natural effects of gravity, then a feather and a battleship ...
dropped at the same time ... fall together, and hit the ground at the
same time.
