Only liquid fuelled rockets (and then only some) rely on oxygen as the oxidizer. It is carried in liquid form in a tank (or tanks). It is them pumped and mixed with the fuel in the combustion chamber where the combustion reaction takes place. The combusion products then exit the rocket nozzle.

In solid fuel rockets, the oxidizer (whatever that may be) is usually mixed with the fuel.

How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?

The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.


Why does rocket fuel burn in space?

oxygen is added from a separate tank


What is the difference between a jet engine and a rocket engine in relations to oxygen?

A jet engine takes oxygen from the air to burn with its fuel. A rocket engine has to take oxygen or some comparable oxidizer with it.


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.


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.

What gas is in a rocket?

Most rockets use liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer to burn fuel, such as liquid hydrogen or kerosene. This combination creates a chemical reaction that produces thrust to propel the rocket.


What substance is found in liquid fuel used in rocket engines?

gasoline along with liquid oxygen, so the fuel can burn


Why will a rocket work in space where there is not enough air for other vehicles to operate?

Vehicles such as airplanes and cars rely on oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. Rockets take the oxygen with them.


A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?

What gas will put a candle out?

If oxygen's excluded, any. As fire needs oxygen to burn, if it lacks this, it won't burn.


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.
