the atmosphere will slow a rocket due to air resistance dispite the popular notion that the rocket would work better for having somthing to push against.

How does a rocket reenter the earth atmosphere?

The Earth's atmosphere is just gas, just like an airplane can get through clouds, a rocket can get through the Earth's atmosphere.


How does air resistance affect a rocket?

Air resistance acts against the motion of a rocket by creating drag, which can slow down the rocket's acceleration and decrease its maximum speed. The more streamlined a rocket is, the less air resistance it will face, allowing it to move more efficiently through the atmosphere. Overall, air resistance can impact the performance and efficiency of a rocket during its flight.

Does the shape of the nose on a rocket affect how high it goes?

If the nose is pointy, the rocket will go faster, but if the rocket's nose is flat, it will just travel slower in the lower atmosphere, the height a rocket attains depends on the efficiancy of its engines, the amount of propellant carried and the launch profile. However, for a subsonic rocket (which is what most hobby rockets are) then a curved on not a pointy one is much better. I would suggest looking it up on wikipedia.

How does a rocket ship go through the earth's atmosphere?

The engines provide lift, which pushes projectiles down. And, since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, since the engine pushes particles down, the particles push the engine up. The engine, in turn, pushes the rocket ship.
