That's a very important question.
To be very technical, the rocket motor burns without "air" ... outside the atmosphere ...
because it takes its own oxygen along with it.
There's always a chemical called an "oxidizer" somewhere in the rocket, either mixed
into the fuel, or else in a separate tank.

What is the difference between lean burn and rich burn with regards to gas turbines?
Lean Burn = higher air-fuel ratio, Less power, more economical Rich Burn = lower air-fuel ratio, More power, less economical
What rocket flies faster a rubberband rocket or a air rocket?
Compressed air rocket.
Why is rocket plane more efficient in the absence of air?
A rocket plane does not have to fight against air resistance if there is no air.
Explain how a rocket works?
A bottle rocket is like a firecracker on a stick. The bottle rocket is placed at an angle in a soda bottle that is firmly on the ground. Then the bottle rocket's fuse is lit. When the fuse burns down there is an abrupt explosion in the bottom of the rocket that forces it to fly up. When it burns all the way up the bottle rocket, gun powder in the tip of the rocket explodes in the air.
When released why does a balloon moves like a rocket?
A balloon does not move like a rocket. A helium filled balloon will float upward because the density of helium is less than that of air, so it is effectively "lighter". A rocket is propelled in any direction using a booster engine that burns fuel.
A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
air
What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?
A rocket motor (rocket engine) does not need air from the atmosphere. It carries the oxidant (source of oxygen) as well as the fuel.
Does a rocket motor burn fuel without air?
In the general sense that the question is asked, yes it does - but, that is only because the fuel has its own oxygen supply (Oxidized fuel).
Why engine need air?
Air is fed into the cylinder - to mix with fuel. The fuel cannot burn without air !
How can a rocket burn its fuel in space?
Since there is no air in space, the spacecraft must bring an 'oxidizer' with it into space. That oxidizer mixes with the fuel, providing the oxygen needed for it to burn, and it burns..
Why does a rocket carry its own oxygen?
There is no air, and thus no oxygen, in outer space, so the rocket needs to bring its own oxygen to burn its fuel.
What is the difference between how a rocket achieves flight and how an aeroplane does?
assuming you mean a jet plane, the only difference is that the plane gets oxidizer from the atmosphere around it, while the rocket brings its own.both jets and rockets work by igniting fuel mixed with oxidizer. an oxidizer is something containing oxygen, so that the fuel can burn, since nothing can burn without oxygen.in a jet, this is often kerosene mixed with air. in a rocket, this is often liquid hydrogen mixed with liqiud oxygen.the jet gets air from outside through air intakes, while the rocket gets the liquid oxygen from a tank it brings along.
Why will a rocket work in space where there is not enough air for other vehicles to operate?
Vehicles such as airplanes and cars rely on oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. Rockets take the oxygen with them.
What is the difference between a jet engine and a rocket engine in relations to oxygen?
A jet engine takes oxygen from the air to burn with its fuel. A rocket engine has to take oxygen or some comparable oxidizer with it.
Does a fossil fuel burn in the air?
All fuels that 'burn' require air or an oxygen source for combustion. Therefore,fossil fuel also burn in the air.
Does a vehicle burn more fuel with the air condition unit on?
A vehicle does not burn anymore fuel when operating with the air conditioner unit or off as it does not burn more fuel when operating with the heater on.
What can be made from oxygen?
Rocket Fuel. Ozone. Air.
