The thrust - i.e. the (force) reaction to the jet of gas expelled from the engine's nozzles. The atmosphere is irrelevant except in producing some drag on the rocket. To escape Earth's gravity the rocket has to be accelerated to escape velocity - abouyt 7miles/second - and this is achieved by the thrust being far greater than the gravtiational force acting on it.

Is it faster to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?

its faster to enter Earths atmosphere because our gravitational pull pulls anything in , and this is why rockets have to have a lot of power to go out of the atmosphere because the gravitational pull keeps us on its surface.


What is the difference between a rocket and an airplane?

Rockets carry their own fuel and oxygen for propulsion, allowing them to operate in space where there is no atmosphere. Airplanes rely on engines that require oxygen from the atmosphere to generate thrust and lift. Rockets go to space, while airplanes fly within Earth's atmosphere.
