Fins are used to help keep a rocket stable. The only way to find out if more fins will make it more stable is by testing it.

How does gravity affect a bottle rocket as it is ascending and descending?

As a rocket descends, gravity is pulling it down whilst drag is stopping the gravity having some of its power because without the drag the rocket would be pulled down to the ground within a matter of seconds. I don't know how it affects it on its ascent!! Sorry!!


Can model rocket fuel be used to make bottle rockets?

"Model rocket fuel" is basically in the form of single-shot engines. You could, I suppose, strap one to a stick and call it a "bottle rocket", but I don't think it would fly very well (and the engine would likely burn off the stick).

What if you send a bottle rocket 15 kilometers in the atmosphere which layer would it be in?

If you send a bottle rocket 15 kilometers into the atmosphere, it would be in the stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface, lying above the troposphere, which is where most weather occurs. At 15 kilometers, the rocket would be well within this layer, where the temperature generally increases with altitude.

How does atmosphere affect a rocket?

The atmosphere affects a rocket by providing resistance as the rocket travels through it, which causes drag. Thicker atmospheres can increase drag and make it more difficult for a rocket to accelerate. Additionally, the atmosphere's composition can affect the combustion process in the rocket engines.

If you were to send a bottle rocket 15 kilometers up into the air which layer of the atmosphere would it reach?

If a bottle rocket were to reach an altitude of 15 kilometers, it would ascend into the stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface, with the lower boundary varying depending on location and season. At 15 kilometers, the rocket would still be well below the stratosphere's upper boundary, typically reaching temperatures that are relatively stable.

What weather would be best to launch a bottle rocket in?

The best weather for launching a bottle rocket is a clear, calm day with low wind speeds. Ideal temperatures are moderate, as extreme heat or cold can affect the rocket's performance. Additionally, avoiding rainy or humid conditions is crucial, as moisture can interfere with the rocket's propulsion and stability. Overall, a dry and sunny day with gentle breezes is optimal for a successful launch.
