As you can see in the two pictures the projectile has the same characteristics though both fluids, It produces a wave of particles moving away from it. Everything moves though some sort of fluid on earth. You have to get into space or be in a  a vacuum to avoid it. The shape of the projectile has a lot to do with how fast it goes and how far. For example a wiffle ball doesn’t go nearly as far as a nerf ball, that being said the amount of force being put into it also has a bunch to do with it. F=Ma, tell us everything we need to know about motion. The sum of the forces, be they thrust, drag or gravity, push the ball only as far as the Mass allows, but the more force you have the more acceleration you are going to get.
