missiles have a guidance system
A missile is guided and capable of changing its trajectory during flight, while a rocket is unguided and follows a pre-determined path.
Yes, a missile is considered a type of rocket.
A rocket is a missile
A rocket has a propulsion system to make it fly into the air. A rocket can be a missile but a missile does not have to be a rocket. The ancient Romans used catapults (called ballista) to launch missiles made of rocks or stone at the enemy. Medieval soldiers threw spears as missiles at the enemy.Today missiles are launched by a rocket. A launched missile that follows the path determined at launch time is a ballistic missile as in an ICBM (Intercontinental ballistic missile). The rockets get it going at some speed and direction. If it has some sort of guidance mechanism built in such as a gyroscope or directional rockets, it would be called a guided missile.missiles have a guidance system
A rocket is a vehicle that carries people or cargo into space, while a missile is a weapon designed to be launched at a target.
Powerful is a matter of opinion. The term missile, does not related to the warhead, so potentially the US still has the Saturn V rocket which would be the most powerful missile/rocket.
Werner Von Braun
A missile is a weapon designed to be guided to a specific target, while a rocket is a vehicle that is propelled by an engine using combustion of fuel.
Missiles have a guidance systen
Missiles are guided, self-propelled weapons designed to deliver a payload to a specific target, while rockets are generally unguided vehicles used for propulsion or atmospheric research. Missiles usually carry warheads, while rockets are often used for space exploration or scientific research without the intention of delivering a payload.
