A rocket motor is a propulsion system that generates thrust to propel a rocket or spacecraft by expelling mass at high speed, typically through the combustion of propellants. It operates based on Newton's third law of motion, where the action of expelling gas results in a reaction that pushes the rocket in the opposite direction. Rocket motors can be classified into solid, liquid, and hybrid types, depending on the state of the propellant used. They are essential for launching vehicles into space and for maneuvering in various space missions.
If you have a standard kit, the motor goes in the tube at the bottom so that the end of the motor with a clay nozzle sticks out. Place an igniter in the motor and (if you are using Estes or Quest motors) put the plug ontop of the igniter and push it in. Turn the rocket upright and put it on the pad. If you don't have a rocket with a motor mount meant for this than don't try it.

The rocket motor color code typically uses a striped pattern with alternating bands of black and white or other contrasting colors to indicate the presence of a rocket motor. The specific colors and patterns may vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of rocket motor being used.
It depends on the motor. The Space Shuttle's 4-segment motor burns for 124 seconds, for instance. The Atlas V's solid rocket motors burn for 90 seconds. A common size B4 model rocket motor burns for 1 second. it depends on the size of the rocket, the grain material, and the oxidizer to tell you how long one will burn.

A rocket engine typically refers to a complete propulsion system that generates thrust using propellants, while a rocket motor usually refers to the combustion chamber and nozzle that produce the thrust. In essence, a rocket engine includes the rocket motor as well as other components like turbopumps and combustion chambers to provide a complete propulsion system.
A hybrid rocket is the rocket with a rocket motor that uses propellants in two different states of matter; one liquid or gas and one solid.
