Any amount of thrust greater than the total weight of the complete vehicle is enough
to do the job, if the thrust lasts long enough and points in the right direction.
about 7.2 million pounds of thrust (Solid Rocket Boosters and Main Engines combined)
10,0000,00000009
Varies depending on the rocket. The tallest, heaviest and most powerful rocket ever manufactured, the Saturn V, produces 7.5 million pounds of thrust.
Liquid rocket engines would act much like a car engine. More fuel, more thrust. Solid rocket engines are either on or off. No throttle control.
7.5 million pounds or 160,000,000 horse power.

Any amount of thrust that's greater than the weight of the rocket vehicle will lift it off of the ground and accelerate it upward. If you keep it up long enough, the vehicle will be in space.

Enough to lift a small rocket 5-600 feet.
7.5 million pounds or 160,000,000 horse power.
The amount of exposed surface area of the fuel
Thrust: How much power that is being used to go forward. Lift on the other hand: is how much power that is used to gain altitude, like in a rocket ship or a plane.
Outer space is much bigger than the solar system.
The Space Shuttle is not capable of leaving Earths orbit.
None.
