A propeller is also known as an airfoil.Ê It creates lift by forcing the air above the propeller to travel a path.Ê There is more air on top of the propellers than there is on the bottom of the propellers causing a vauum so the air is then pushed up.

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.
