A rocket flies based solely on power. It may have some small airfoils for guidance control but no airfoi;s that produce lift. An airplane, on the other hand, uses large wing surfaces to produce lift causing flight. Airplanes still require some power to achieve flight but flight is maintained with a combination of power and lift.

Are rockets smaller than airplanes?
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.
