If things work as planned, the first stage uses up its fuel, and falls away, while the engines of the second stage ignite and push the rocket into a higher trajectory. This point in the launch sequence is called (predictably enough!) "staging", and it is at this point that things generally go terribly wrong if they are going to. You rarely hear of a rocket in which the second stage works properly and then the THIRD stage fails.
When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted, then it, too, falls away while the third stage pushes the rocket into its final orbit, or off into the solar system.
This "stages falling away" part is why the USA launches its rockets from Cape Canaveral in Florida; the discarded stages fall harmlessly into the Atlantic Ocean.
The butterfly goes through many stages in its lifetime. It is only during the cocoon stage, that it stops eating completely.
When you exercise, your body uses stored carbohydrates (glycogen) first for quick energy before tapping into stored fats for fuel.
The end product of the light reaction of photosynthesis is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules are used to fuel the Calvin cycle, the second stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose.
Fuel tank: Stores the fuel before it is delivered to the engine. Fuel pump: Transfers the fuel from the tank to the engine. Fuel filter: Removes contaminants and impurities from the fuel before reaching the engine. Fuel injectors: Dispense the fuel into the combustion chamber for combustion. Fuel pressure regulator: Controls the pressure of the fuel flowing through the system to ensure proper engine performance.
The primary fuel source for the sun is hydrogen, which undergoes nuclear fusion to form helium. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. The sun converts about 4 million tons of mass into energy every second.
That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.

No, the fuels used were:boosters - hydrazine (fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer)first stage - hydrazine (fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer)second stage - hydrazine (fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer)
The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.

Apollo 11 used a combination of liquid oxygen and hydrogen as fuel for its S-II second stage and S-IVB third stage rocket engines. The first stage of the Saturn V rocket used RP-1, a highly refined form of kerosene, along with liquid oxygen as fuel.
The first stage of the nuclear fuel cycle is mining and milling, where uranium ore is extracted from the ground and processed to produce yellowcake, a concentrated form of uranium oxide.
Since there is likely to be a small amount of unburnt fuel remaining in the first stage, when the second stage ignites, it will destroy the first stage completely. This is as a direct result of the unburnt fuel being heated past its flashpoint. The resulting explosion would obliterate the second stage (since it's still full of fuel) and the rest of the rocket, too. The whole "chain reaction" would happen in seconds! The rocket would also be too heavy to reach its destination.
Because it's moving a smaller mass. The first stage of the rocket has to move the whole vehicle. By the time you're ready to fly on the third-stage engines, you've burned up the fuel in the first two stages and separated from them.
