Well, to start with, a rocket creates thrust by expelling combusted fuel out the back of an opening in the tank or fuel container. The thrust is created by the chemical reaction you might call an explosion. A jet engine uses fans and multiple levels of chambers to compress air which it sucks in the front and blows out the back with greater force.
A jet engine sucks oxygen from the air and combusts it with fuel carried in a tank. A rocket engine carries both fuel and oxygen in separate supply tanks and does not require an external oxygen source. For this reason jet engines can only operate inside the Earth's atmosphere, whereas rocket engines can operate outside of the atmosphere.

∙ 14y agoA rocket burns its fuel with its own oxidiser, is self-contained and normally goes until it stops. A jet engine compresses air from the atmosphere and mixes it with fuel, then ignites that mixture and directs the exhaust.

What is difference between a rocket a jet engine?
A rocket explodes and a jet doesnt.
What is the difference between a jet engine and a rocket engine in relations to oxygen?
A jet engine takes oxygen from the air to burn with its fuel. A rocket engine has to take oxygen or some comparable oxidizer with it.
Difference between the thermal jet engines and the chemical rocket engine?
dnt knw
Which is the fastest between jet and rocket?
A rocket can go faster than a jet because it does not have to deal with the problem of supersonic shock waves blocking the airflow in the intake and thus putting the engine out. However the rocket must carry its own oxidizer.
Working principal of rocket?
Rocket engines obtain their thrust in accordance with Isaac Newton's third law, making the rocket a reaction engine. A rocket engine is simply a jet engine.
How is a rocket engine like a jet engine?
Because they both fly in the sky
How does the engine make the rocket take off?
jet propultion
What is an engine with greater engine specs?
A steam engine, a stirling engine, a combustion engine, a jet engine, a rocket engine.
Why does a space craft requires a rocket engine instead of a jet engine?
because jet engines reqire air to take in in order to work, rocket engines spew matter to privide thrust
What is the difference in propultion between an airplane a spacecraft?
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
What is the difference between water loom and air jet loom?
difference between air jet loom and water jet loom
Is a jet a kind of rocket?
Jet engines and rockets are different means of propulsion. A jet engine takes in air, compresses it and mixes it with vaporized fuel. The air fuel mixture is ignited and produces thrust out the rear of the engine. A rocket uses fuel wich is burned and produces thrust with no air intake. Rocket fuels can be solid, liquid or compressed gas.
