Best Answer

The jet takes in air from outside and burns the oxygen in it with fuel to produce thrust, the missile with its rocket engine carries oxygen internally in chemical form and needs no air with which to burn the fuel carried in a separate tank.

That's why jets can only operate within the atmosphere and rockets are needed for flight outside it.
