Why can't space ships use propellers to move in space?

Propellers require a medium like air to push against to generate thrust. In the vacuum of space, there is no air or medium for propellers to work against, so they would not be able to propel a spaceship. Instead, spacecraft use thrusters that expel mass in the opposite direction to create propulsion.


Why can'y space ships use propellers to move in space?

Propellers rely on air or water to generate thrust, but space is a vacuum with no air. In space, vehicles use thrusters that expel propellant in the opposite direction to move forward. This method follows Newton's third law of motion.

sometimes, but they need to be on both sides or else the helicopter will lose its balance and crash! it is not beneficial if you put the lights on the propellers because they will move so fast you can't see them...
