What are the two main types of rockets?
The two main types of rockets are liquid fuel rockets, which use liquid propellants like liquid oxygen and kerosene, and solid fuel rockets, which use a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer. Liquid fuel rockets offer more control and efficiency, while solid fuel rockets are simpler in design and more reliable.
What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?
Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.
Where do some rockets get their oxygen from?
Some rockets, such as liquid fuel rockets, carry liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer in a separate tank. The LOX is then mixed with the rocket's fuel and ignited to create thrust. Other rockets, like solid fuel rockets, have an oxidizer mixed into their solid fuel composition.
What do rockets run on?
Rockets commonly run on liquid fuel, solid fuel, or a combination of both. Liquid fuel rockets use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, while solid fuel rockets use a solid propellant mixture. Both types of rockets generate thrust through a controlled combustion process.
How do you compare and contrast solid fuel liquid fuel and iron rockets?
Solid fuel rockets use a solid propellant mixture, which is more stable and easier to store compared to liquid fuel rockets that use liquid propellants. Iron rockets typically refer to solid fuel rockets using iron particles as part of the propellant mixture to enhance thrust. Overall, solid fuel rockets are simpler and more reliable but lack the efficiency and flexibility of liquid fuel rockets.
Why don't astronauts soft-land on Earth with retro-rockets?
Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.

Which rocket is older solid fuel rockets or liquid fuel rockets?
The earliest rockets--i.e., those built by the Chinese as early as the 14 century--used solid fuel.
What kind of fuel do they use in rockets?
Primarily there are two types of fuels used in most rockets today. The space shuttle, at liftoff, uses both. Solid fuel and liquid fuel. Solid fuel rockets are much like the bottle rockets you can buy in a fireworks store. Once they are lit, the burn all of the fuel available and then burn out. The 2 white rockets on the side of the orange tank holding the space shuttle are Solid Rocket Boosters. The large orange tank that holds the space shuttle is full of liquid full that the shuttle uses as it lifts off into space. That fuel is actually liquid.
Where do fireworks and space rockets get their oxygen from?
They take it with them in some form or another. Fireworks use oxidizing salts such as various nitrates and chlorates. Solid fuel rockets generally use ammonium perchlorate as an oxidizer while liquid fuel rockets carry liquid oxygen.

Rockets commonly run on liquid fuel, solid fuel, or a combination of both. Liquid fuel rockets use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, while solid fuel rockets use a solid propellant mixture. Both types of rockets generate thrust through a controlled combustion process.
How are rockets powered by fuel?
Here's a rephrasing: How are rockets powered, by fuel? Yes, that's pretty much correct.
What fuel is put into rockets?
Solid rocket fuel.
Can liquid fuel rockets lift heavier rockets?
Heavier than What?
How do you compare and contrast solid fuel liquid fuel and iron rockets?
Solid fuel rockets use a solid propellant mixture, which is more stable and easier to store compared to liquid fuel rockets that use liquid propellants. Iron rockets typically refer to solid fuel rockets using iron particles as part of the propellant mixture to enhance thrust. Overall, solid fuel rockets are simpler and more reliable but lack the efficiency and flexibility of liquid fuel rockets.
