Because the engines are burning large amounts of fuel and oxidizer every second (in some rockets as much as ten tons per second) and ejecting the products of this burning at high velocity to generate thrust.

During a rocket launch whioch is greater thrust of the rocket engine or weight of the rocket?
thrust of the rocket engine
Why does the weight of a rocket decrease during take off?
During ascent, the rocket burns the fuel in it's tank, which comprises most of it's weight.
How do you decrease the weight of a rocket?
the way to make a rocket lighter is not to hard depending on what you want to do. You can use lighter materials, use a different type of fuel, change the shape.
What is the weight of a rocket ship?
It depends, most rocket ships weight about 100-300 tons
Why does the weight of a rocket change while going through space?
It consumes is fuel while flying (although this has little effect as space is a vacuum), the same as an aeroplanes weight changes while it is in flight
Why does the weight of a rocket change during a liftoff?
MOST of the structure that you see lifting off from the launch-pad consists of giant tanks full of various types of fuel, and MOST of that fuel is burned in the first few minutes of the flight, to get the whole thing off the ground, out of the atmosphere, and into earth orbit. The weight of the whole vehicle drops drastically, as all that rocket fuel is being pumped out of the tanks and burned.

How could a toy rocket accelerate after takeoff?
As long as the thrust is more than the weight of the rocket (toy or otherwise) the rocket will accelerate. When the thrust matches the weight, the rocket will cruise. When the thrust is less then the rocket will slow.
Where do you put the weight on a pop bottle rocket?
inside the rocket
What force pulls downwards on a rocket as it is launched into space?
the weight of the rocket
What is the main advantage of a multistage rocket?
that the total weight of the rocket is greatly reduced as the rocket rises
What is the weight of a Marshal Rocket Deluxe guitar?
The weight 3.7 kg.
What happens to the weight of a rocket when it takes off?
The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel burns.
