Provided they are kept in a dry, cool, and stable environment, they should last indefinitely. The ingredients are non-volatile, so they do not really degrade over time.

If you want to know how long they burn for, you need to look at the rating on the side of the rocket. A higher thrust number means that it will burn for a shorter amount of time. Most small model rocket engines burn for 3 to 5 seconds.

What is the difference between model rockets and real rockets?

In a real rocket, there is short a time in atmosphere and the aerodynamics are less important. In a model rocket, all flight in the atmosphere and the aerodynamics are very important. In a real rocket, it has a liquid or solid rocket engine and a large propellant mass fraction. In a model rocket, it has a solid rocket engine and a small propellant mass fraction . In a real rocket, there are four forces during atmospheric flight. In a model rocket, there are four forces throughout flight. In a real rocket, there is a long powered flight . In a model rocket, it has a very short powered flight . In a real rocket, it has passive stability and active control . In a model rocket, it has passive stability and no control. In a real rocket, it has expensive materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy. In a model rocket, it has inexpensive materials such as balsa, cardboard, and plastic. In a real model, there is a high speed and the heating is very important. In a model rocket there is low speed and the heating is not important.
