The pollution levels resulting from rockets varies. Some rockets use hydrogen and oxygen to reach orbit, meaning their exhaust is merely water vapor. Solid fuels produce more pollutants. Additionally, some rockets burn rocket-grade kerosine, hydrazine, and nitrogen tetroxide do not burn very clean. Some rockets burn nitrous oxide and high-grade rubber, which does not burn clean. While the exhaust does not burn clean, the infrequency of it's use results in a negligible environmental impact. Additionally, much of the exhaust is also released high enough to not enter the atmosphere.

What generates thrust that helps a rocket take off?
burning fuel (rocket propellant)
Why does burning fossil fuel pollute the air?
It produces carbon monoxide and other pollutants.
When a rocket lands on a planet does it hurt the planet?
Yes the rocket does hurt the planet because, the rocket has chemicals in the fuel that are bad for the plant. The chemicals in that fuel makes smog and smog can pollute almost anywhere. Smog is the mixture of smoke, chemicals, and fog.
Does burning wood pollute the earth?
No, burning natural features of the Earth does not pollute the World.
How does rocket causes air pollution?
Because they let out fume from the burning fuel.
What launches due to equal but opposite forces of the burning fuel?
Lol , a rocket.
Which law allows a spaceship to accelerate by burning rocket fuel?
first law
How does a rocket provide power?
action & reaction. The burning of rocket fuel produces gases that move fast and make the rocket move the opposite way
How do spacecraft takeoff?
In the rocket engine large amount of fuel are burnt. The burning fuel expands and is forces itself out the bottom of the rocket. As it pushes down, it pushes the rocket up. If the force pushing the rocket up exceeds its weight, the rocket will take off.
How does a rocket function?
A rocket functions by burning an internal fuel source as a propellant. The thrust is then pushed through a nozzle to increase performance.
How does the first and third law of motion apply to a rocket launching?
1st. The rocket sets still until a force, burning fuel, causes a change in motion. 2nd. F=ma The force of the burning fuel causes an acceleration of the rocket. 3rd. Action/reaction. The action of hot burning gases leaving the rocket causes a reaction, which is the motion of the rocket in the opposite direction. Note: The exhaust does not need to hit the ground to cause the reaction. A rocket engine ignited in outer space will cause a change in the motion of the rocket.
Can kerosene pollute the earth?
it can on burning!
