It depends. There are model rockets, which of course are smaller than airplanes. Then there are full scale rockets, which are larger than some airplanes. For example, the Space Shuttle Discovery is very large-bigger than most propeller planes and some commercial airliners. But Discovery is also transported on top of a 747. So depending on the rocket, or the airplane you are comparing it to, rockets can be both larger and smaller than airplanes.

What is aerospace design engineering?
Designing airplanes, helicopters, rockets, satellites, spacecraft, and/or any of the subsystems that go into such systems.
What are the differences between an airplane and a rocket?

What must airplanes and rockets do to fly through the air?
They must have sufficient thrust from their engines and lift from their wings to overcome their weight and the aerodynamic drag forces. Most rockets do not have sufficient wings to lift them but their engines provide a thrust force that is greater than their weight and it keeps pushing them vertically in the air.
