A rocket goes into space and an aeroplane stays on Earth and flies in the sky.
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
Aircraft are driven by air breathing engines whether combustion or jet. All spacecraft must be propelled by rocket or something else that needs no air to perform
-- The gunpowder rocket was invented around 500 BCE. -- The first successful flight of an airplane was in 1903. So the rocket sneaked past the airplane in line by about 2,400 years.
A rocket is a form of propulsion. If a rocket is used to power an airplane, it is referred to as a rocket-plane, and has wings like an airplane. It the rocket is use to propel a vehicle vertically, which does not need wicgs to provide lift, it is called simply a rocket. Sometimes fins are used to stabilize or guide a rocket in flight, but these are referred to as fins rather than wings.
A plane needs air, a rocket doesn't.
The spelling.
there is no difference

There is noneAnswer'Aeroplane' is British English; 'airplane' is US English.

A rocket is cooler:)
A rocket explodes and a jet doesnt.

The space shuttle Is a type of rocket that lands like an airplane.
Airplane flight relies on lift generated by the wings due to the airflow over them, while rocket flight operates by expelling propellant out of the rocket engine to create thrust in the opposite direction. Airplanes need to maintain a certain speed to generate lift, while rockets can function in the vacuum of space where there is no air for lift.
Those terms are synonymous
