No. The Saturn V used a first-stage booster of RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen. The second stage used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, as the shuttle engines do.
The shuttle uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen for the main engines, and also two solid-fuel boosters (SRBs) when launched.

What is the same between space rockets and space shuttle?
a space shuttle is smaller than an space rocket.
What is the largest space shuttle?
All the Space Shuttles are the same size, but if your asking for the biggest rocket, that would be the Saturn V (five) that took America to the moon and was the base for skylab.
How Long Was Columbia Space Shuttle?
The Columbia orbiter was 122.17 feet long. The entire Space Shuttle (which includes the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters) is184 feet long. All space shuttles and orbitals seem to be the same length.
Is a space station the same as a space shuttle?
No. A space station stays in space, a shuttle goes back and forth between the station and the Earth.
What is the smallest space shuttle?

Is the weight of the space shuttle the same on earth as it is in space?
Its mass is the same(ignoring spent fuel) but the weight is a result of the gravitational pull, which is different in space. Actually the space shuttle never gets far enough from the earth for it's weight to change. The reason it seems weightless is because it is in free-fall.

What were the colours on the space shuttle challenger?
The same colors as every Space Shuttle, mostly dark orange, black and white.
Which is the fastest space shuttle?
They are all designed the same.
Do the Apollo mission space shuttles consist of a rust-colored external tank and two white slender solid rocket boosters and the orbiter?
The Apollo and space shuttle programs refer to two different NASA programs, not the same one. The Apollo missions used Saturn rockets; mainly Saturn V and predated the shuttle by around 10 years. The Saturn V was a three stage rocket; white with black "go faster" striping. The Apollo spacecraft itself consisted of the service, command, and lunar modules. The present space shuttle combination at launch consists of the orbiter, external fuel tank and the two white solid rocket boosters as described. The tanks and boosters are jettisoned during the launch at different stages, leaving only the orbiter in space.
How does the endeavor space shuttle work?
The same way as the others.
