This can be answered on many different levels. They both burn and give out a good amount of heat is probably the simplest. In more scientific terms, they both contain chemical energy which is released when they burn. More practically, they both ignite easily and burn quite cleanly.

Is ethanol soluble in kerosene?
ethanol (i.e ethyl alcohol) is a polar solvent. So ethanol is soluble in water. But Kerosene is non-polar solvent. Like dissolves like. This phenomenon is used here. Kerosene can dissolve non-polar solvents like naphthalene, which is a non-polar solvent.
Does Ethanol release more Energy than Kerosene?
Kerosene releases more energy then ethanol but it is harder to put into engines that run on gasoline already.
What color is kerosene?
Kerosene, as with other liquid fossil fuels can be dyed in various colours
What fuels are made from petroleum?

Why is kerosene used as jet fuels instead of petrol?
It is not kerosene but a kerosene type fuel used in jets or aircraft. Jet fuel is a mixture of various hydrocarbons. Jet fuel must be free from water contamination. Synthetic Jet fuel and Jet biofuels are used in different airways. Chemically they are not exactly same as kerosene or petrol.
What are the different types of bio fuels used?
the only ones I'm aware of are ethanol-gasoline and biodiesel
What fuels a plane?
The fuel that planes use is called Kerosene.
Fuels made from this can be used in diesel cars?
There are kerosene-based fuels (such as JP8), which can be used in diesel motors. There are also biofuels, which can be made from grain-based products, that'll work in diesel motors.
What do you know about fuel?
Fuels are the substances that burn to produce heat and light energy. Some commonly used fuels are wood, coal, petrol, diesel, kerosene, LPG & CNG. Fuels are used for cooking in automobiles and to generate electricity.On the basis of their physical state, fuels have been divided into three categories:Solid fuelsLiquid fuelsGaseous fuels
