A rocket engine is a reaction engine as the fuel is burnt the thrust created pushes the rocket forward. Newton's 1st law in action; for every reaction there is a equal and opposite reaction.
The two main types of rocket engines are Solid fuel rocket engines and Liquid fuel rocket engines.
Rocket motors carry their own oxygen supply (oxygen is important for combustion), whereas automobile engines do not - they draw their oxygen from the air taken in from outside the vehicle.
because jet engines reqire air to take in in order to work, rocket engines spew matter to privide thrust
Rocket engines are not air breathing engines and hence they can be propelled into space.
Rocket engine
The Saturn V rocket had five rocket engines in its first stage, called the F-1 engines. These engines were responsible for providing the necessary thrust to lift the rocket off the ground and into space.
Model rocket engines are reproductions of rocket engines that are scaled down to a much smaller size than the real thing. They usually don't do anything and are for display purposes.
Rockets work on the principle of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. They expel gas at high speed from their engines, creating thrust that propels the rocket forward. This is achieved through the combustion of fuel and oxidizers in the rocket's engines, producing hot gases that are expelled through a nozzle. The design of the rocket and its engines allows for controlled ascent and maneuverability in space.

Rockets are powered by rocket engines, which operate on the principle of propulsion through the expulsion of high-speed exhaust gases. There are two main types of rocket engines: liquid rocket engines, which burn liquid propellants, and solid rocket engines, which use solid propellants. These engines generate thrust based on Newton's third law of motion, where the expulsion of gas in one direction propels the rocket in the opposite direction. Additionally, some rockets may employ hybrid engines that combine both liquid and solid propellants.
