How rocket ship take off?

A rocket ship takes off by igniting its rocket engines, which produce thrust that propels the ship upward. The force generated by the rocket engines pushes the ship off the ground and into the air, overcoming Earth's gravity. As the rocket ascends, its engines continue to provide thrust to propel it further into space.
