Rocket fuel.
If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum. To speed the rocket up, currently chemical combustion is used. The burning gas goes out in one direction, thus pushing the rocket in the opposite direction.If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum.

Gas is thrusted downward out of the rocket, which in turn (because of Newton's third law) pushes the rocket upward. The gas, which has already combusted, mixes with the air
What was the name of the rocket used to travel to the moon?
The lunar rocket was a rocket that was sent to the moon, such as the Saturn V rocket that was used during the Apollo missions.

There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.
A rocket is used for space travel because it requires nothing to push against,no air or ground is needed. The speed and quantity of gas leaving the engine has an equal and opposite force on the rocket propelling it in the opposite direction.
The rocket pushes back on the gas.

Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are used as rocket fuel, oxygen gas is used by the astronauts to breath.
I think a electric pocket rocket is better

Generally gaseous/æreiform, however liquid oxygen is ALSO a thing. The latter was used in the first liquid fuel rocket by Robert Goddard.
A hybrid rocket is the rocket with a rocket motor that uses propellants in two different states of matter; one liquid or gas and one solid.
