The exhaust from a rocket propels it by reactive thrust. As the hot gases expand, they exit the rocket, giving the rocket an equal force in the opposite (upward) direction. Note that the exhaust does not have to "push against" anything to give the rocket its momentum. However, the constraints of expansion while the rocket is near the ground (normally at liftoff) will give it additional apparent thrust, known as "ground effect" (which is much more evident in helicopters than in other aerial vehicles).

How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
How can a rocket burn its fuel in space?
Rockets carry their own oxidizer to burn their fuel in space, as there is no oxygen available in space for combustion. The fuel and oxidizer react together in the rocket engine to produce thrust, allowing the rocket to move forward. This allows rockets to function in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen.
How is a real rocket able to blast into space?
A real rocket is able to blast into space by relying on powerful engines that burn fuel to generate thrust. The force of this thrust pushes the rocket against the force of gravity, allowing it to break free from Earth's gravitational pull and ascend into space. Rockets also have carefully calculated trajectories and guidance systems to navigate through different stages of their journey into space.
What needs To burn fuel in rocket needs oxidizer which comes from an?
Oxidizer in rockets typically comes from liquid oxygen (LOX), which reacts with the fuel to produce combustion and generate thrust. This combination of fuel and oxidizer allows the rocket engines to burn efficiently in the vacuum of space.
Do rockets use fuel in space?
Yes. If a rocket fires its rockets to manoeuvre, then it burns fuel. Fuel is defined as anything that burns; gases and solid propellent. In space, the fuel has to have oxygen added or an oxidizer to sustain the burn.
How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?

Why does rocket fuel burn in space?
oxygen is added from a separate tank

Why do space vehicles use rocket fuel instead of regular fuel like a car?
Regular gasoline does not burn nearly fast enough for use in space vehicles.

How do rocket can work in earth's atmosphere and outer space?
simple rocket science...the fuel tank on a space shuttle carries it's own oxygen in a separate hull NEXT to the actual fuel (hydrogen) tank which allows the fuel to burn, as there is no oxygen in the vacuum of space, and fire, of course, needs plenty of oxygen...

A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
oxygen from the surrounding air, making it suitable for space travel where there is no atmosphere.
Why rocket fly in space instead of air?
I think I know what you're getting at... Rockets burn loads of fuel really quickly so we use jet engines in the atmosphere... The thing is that jet engines need oxygen to mix with fuel to burn it. Rocket engines contain their own oxygen which means that they are the most practical way for us to get into space.
Why does a rocket carry its own oxygen?
A rocket carries its own oxygen because it needs oxygen to enable combustion of fuel for propulsion in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen. This allows the rocket to generate thrust and propel itself forward.
Does a rocket motor burn fuel without air?
Yes, rocket motors can burn fuel without the presence of air because they carry their own oxidizer, which provides the oxygen needed for combustion. This allows them to operate in the vacuum of space where there is no air.
